Ipv6 Essentials

This text offers an in-depth tour of all the new features and functions in IPv6, guiding the reader through everything they need to know to get started, including how to configure IPv6 on hosts and routers, and which applications currently support IPv6. Aimed at system and network administrators, engineers, network designers, and IT managers, this book will help you plan for, design, and integrate IPv6 into your current IPv4 infrastructure. Beginning with a short history of IPv6, the author provides an overview of the new functionality and describes some live test and production networks that are using the new protocol. She then shares discussions of the new IPv6 header format and Extension Headers, IPv6 address format, and IPv6 message format. The book also covers: security in IPv6; quality of service; networking; routing protocols and upper layer protocols; and getting started on different operating systems.
