Migrating to IPv6

<b>Understand IPv6, the protocol essential to future Internet growth.</b> <p>Exhaustion of address space and global routing table growth necessitate important revisions to the current version of the Internet Protocol, IPv4.  IP version 6 offers greater address space and additional features to support the evolving requirements of Internet applications. Deployed alongside current IPv4 networks, IPv6 will restore the full-fledge network necessary for Internet growth.</p> <p><i>Migrating to IPv6</i> gives a comprehensive overview of IPv6 and related protocols, the layers below IPv6 to the application and end-user layers.  Author Marc Blanchet offers a direct and clear route to understanding the topic, taking a top-down approach and ordering topics by relevance. Tried and tested practical techniques and advice on implementation, applications and deployment provide ‘how-to’ information on everything you need to know to put the technology to work.</p> <p><i>Migrating to IPv6:</i></p> <ul> <li>Provides a complete, up-to-date, in-depth, and accessible practical guide to IPv6.</li> <li>Demonstrates the theory with practical and generic examples and major implementation configurations, such as Windows, FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, Cisco, Juniper and Hexago.</li> <li>Provides a comprehensive reference to key data structures and packet formats.</li> <li>Summarizes topics in table and graphical form to give fast access to information, including over 200 figures.</li> <li>Offers an accompanying website with extra coverage of specific topics, information on additional protocols and specifications, and updates on new features.</li> </ul> <p>This text will give network engineers, managers and operators, software engineers and IT professionals and analysts a thorough understanding of IPv6.</p>
