The implementation of IPv6 is essential to the continued growth of the Internet and the development of new applications. The Handbook of IPv4 to IPv6 Transition Methodologies provides a wealth of best practices and procedures that will help corporations plan and implement a smooth transition to IPv6.
A blueprint for successful transition, the Handbook of IPv4 to IPv6 Transition—

- Provides a tutorial of IPv6 addressing capabilities

- Looks at IPv6 network constructs, specifically key routing processes

- Examines IPv6 autoconfiguration techniques and the suite of IPv6-related protocols

- Discusses all the major IPv6 enterprise/institutional network migration mechanisms as well as coexistence issues

- Identifies the various elements in the network and what migration role they will need to play in order to support the transition

- Surveys the application and security aspects of the IPv6 transition

- Offers the first reference in many years to address the migration and macro-level scalability requirements to support the DoD/DISA/GAO drive for an IPv6-based U.S. Government

Zielgruppe

Corporate planners, carrier planners, government agencies, consultants, vendors, and academics.
