Worm propagation model in IPv6 networks

Huafeng Li

Abstract

In IPv6 network environment,a new type of worm,WormIPv6 is presented in IPv6 network.Based on the analysis and research of the scanning strategy of WormIPv6,Simple Epidemic Mode(lSEM) and Kermack-Mckendrick mode(lKM) are established for simulating the propagation of WormIPv6.The results of simulation experiment show that IPv6 network can defend against random-scanning worms due to its huge address space.It is impossible that random-scanning worms propagate in IPv6 network and Internet worm will use other scanning strategy.
