Several services and protocols are bound to a network connection by default, including
Client for Microsoft Networks, QoS Packet Scheduler, File and Printer Sharing for
Microsoft Networks, IPv6, IPv4, LLTD Mapper I/O Driver, and LLTD Responder. You can
change the binding order of protocols, services, and network providers.

IPv6 uses a 128-bit address expressed by 8 16-bit hexadecimal numbers separated by a
colon. Some reasons for this new IP version are a larger address space, a hierarchical
address space, autoconfiguration, built-in QoS, and built-in security.

Key Terms
dual-IP layer architecture The current implementation of IPv6 in Windows Vista and Server
2008. Both IPv4 and IPv6 share the other components of the stack; the dual-stack layer used
by Windows XP and Server 2003 duplicates the other TCP/IP layers.
link-local address Similar in function to the IPv4 APIPA addresses, link-local IPv6 addresses
begin with fe80, are self-configuring, and can't be routed.
metric

A value assigned to the gateway based on the speed of the interface used to access the

gateway.
network connection An icon in the Network Connections window that shows the
components needed for the computer to connect to a network.
network discovery The process whereby a computer finds other computers on a network
and allows other computers to find it.
network map A graphical view of the network from your computer's perspective. It includes
your computer, the networks to which your computer is connected, other devices on the
network, and the Internet.
network provider A software component that allows Windows applications to connect to
resources on other computers.
octet An 8-bit value; a number from 0 to 255 that's one of the four numbers found in a
dotted decimal IP address.
subnet mask A 32-bit dotted decimal number consisting of an unbroken series of binary
1s followed by an unbroken series of binary 0s; used with an IP address to determine the
network ID.
