hey i still work on my thesis and this time i determined mobile IPv6. I have some questions
other than these:

1- Perhaps this is a dumb one, though i wanna ask a question first you have never heard.
you know "the data encapsulation process". By doing this , can't we hide the information(data and control info)in packet from outer threats?

And so , why do we "also" use IPSec protocol to
hide the information if data encapsulation process already perform that?


2- There are two things: IPv4 Options and IPv6 Extension headers
IPv4 Options removed since it was infrequently used. Then it has been moved to extension headers.

Now let's come to question,
IPv4 Options would provide us some security, also IPv4 protocol field do this by adding
AH header and ESP header if IPSec is implemented.

So, wasn't "AH header and ESP header" enough to provide IPSec features? why also
use some information " in IPv4 Options? "

i apologise but my message didn'T go at first time

 

If data is encapsulated it can still be read, using something like Wireshark.

Because IPSec can *encrypt* the data. If you capture the packet you still can't read it. And IPSec also authenticates the source of the packet.

I think you are confusing IPv4 Options with IPv4 Type of Service. It was TOS that was unused and re-engineered.

IPv4 Options don't provide any security - why do you think they do?

Options don't provide any encryption or authentication, which is why IPSec exists.

i have read somewhere that IPv4 options could be used to carry information related to encryption
so i told this.

 

So the thing would be to dig out where this 'somewhere' was and review it!
