        **What is IPv6 Security Integration?**

        IPv6 Security Integration refers to the built-in support for security features such as IPsec, which provides confidentiality, integrity, and authentication at the IP layer.

        **Why is IPv6 Security Integration useful?**

        It enables secure end-to-end communication by encrypting and authenticating IPv6 packets, helping protect against eavesdropping, tampering, and spoofing.

        **How does IPv6 Security Integration work?**

        IPv6 mandates IPsec support, which uses protocols like Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) to secure packets. Security policies can be applied to encrypt or authenticate data transparently.

        **Where is IPv6 Security Integration used?**

        It is used in secure VPNs, enterprise networks, government communications, and anywhere data privacy and integrity are critical.

        **Which OSI layer does IPv6 Security Integration belong to?**

        Security integration operates at the **Network Layer (Layer 3)**, securing IP packets before transport.

        **Is IPv6 Security Integration Windows specific?**

        No, IPsec and other IPv6 security features are supported across all major operating systems including Windows.

        **Is IPv6 Security Integration Linux specific?**

        No, Linux fully supports IPv6 security with tools like `strongSwan`, `Libreswan`, and kernel IPsec support.

        **Which Transport Protocol is used by IPv6 Security Integration?**

        Security integration works below transport protocols, securing all IP payloads regardless of whether they use TCP, UDP, or other protocols.

        **Is IPv6 Security Integration using client-server model?**

        No, security integration is a network layer function and does not depend on client-server communication models.
