IPv6 Essentials 2nd Edition
IPv6 Essentials, Second Edition provides a succinct,
in-depth tour of all the new features and functions in IPv6.
It guides you through everything you need to know to get
started, including how to configure IPv6 on hosts and
routers and which applications currently support IPv6. The
new IPv6 protocols offers extended address
space,
scalability, improved support for security, real-time
traffic support, and auto-configuration so that even a
novice user can connect a machine to the Internet. Aimed at
system and network administrators, engineers, network
designers, and IT managers, this book will help you
understand, plan for, design, and integrate IPv6 into your
current IPv4 infrastructure.
Beginning with a short history of IPv6, author Silvia Hagen
provides an overview of new functionality and discusses why
we need IPv6. Hagen also shares exhaustive discussions of
the new IPv6 header format and Extension Headers, IPv6
address and ICMPv6 message format, Security, QoS, Mobility
and, last but not least, offers a Quick Start Guide for
different operating systems. IPv6 Essentials, Second Edition
also covers:
In-depth technical guide to IPv6
Mechanisms and Case Studies that show how to integrate IPv6
into your network without interruption of IPv4 services
Routing protocols and upper layer protocols
Security in IPv6: concepts and requirements. Includes the
IPSEC framework and security elements available for
authentication and encryption
Quality of Service: covers the elements available for QoS in
IPv6 and how they can be implemented
Detailed discussion of DHCPv6 and Mobile IPv6
Discussion of migration cost and business case
Getting started on different operating systems: Sun Solaris,
Linux, BSD, Windows XP, and Cisco routers
Whether you're ready to start implementing IPv6 today or are
planning your strategy for the future, IPv6 Essentials,
Second Edition will provide the solid foundation you need to
get started.
"Silvia's look at IPv6 is always refreshing as she
translates complex
technology features into business drivers and genuine
end-user benefits to
enable building new business concepts based on end to end
models."
