Book description

IPv6 Essentials provides a succinct, in-depth tour of all the new features and functions in IPv6, guiding you through everything you'll need to know to get started, including how to configure IPv6 on hosts and routers, and which applications currently support IPv6. This book will help you plan for, design, and integrate IPv6 into your current IPv4 infrastructure.
Full Description

IPv6, the next generation Internet Protocol, has been in the works since the early 90s when the rapid growth of the Internet threatened to exhaust existing IP addresses. Drawing on 20 years--operational experience with the existing protocol (IPv4), the new protocol offers scalability, increased security features, real-time traffic support, and auto-configuration so that even a novice user can connect a machine to the Internet. But what does this mean for IT professionals? Having learned all the strengths and weaknesses of the old protocol, will you need to start from scratch with the new? IPv6 Essentials provides a succinct, in-depth tour of all the new features and functions in IPv6, guiding you through everything you?ll 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, author Silvia Hagen provides an overview of the new functionality and describes some live test and production networks that are using the new protocol. Hagen then shares exhaustive discussions of the new IPv6 header format and Extension Headers, IPv6 address format, and IPv6 message format. IPv6 Essentials also covers:

Security in IPv6: concepts, requirements, and solutions. Includes the IPSEC framework and security elements available for authentication and encryption
Quality of Service: covers the types of QoS in IPv6 and how they can be implemented
Networking: Layer 2 support for IPv6 with sample network designs that show how to integrate IPv6 into your network without interruption of IPv4 services
Routing protocols and upper layer protocols
Getting started on different operating systems: Sun Solaris, Linux, Windows 2000 and Windows XP

Whether you're ready to start implementing IPv6 today or are planning your strategy for the future, IPv6 Essentials will provide the solid foundation you need to get started.

"I'd been perusing the writing of an author who had managed to provide excellent information in a manner that I can only describe as joyful. Reading this book is almost like reading a novel by Isaac Asimov. You practically devour the book and once your done, you know you've been somewhere else for a while and you've returned changed...Whether you're ready to start implementing IPv6 or are creating plans for upcoming implementation, 'IPv6 Essentials' will provide the foundation you need to get started."
--Jim Huddle, kickstartnews.com, July 2003

"'IPv6 Essentials' does a great job of detailing the nuts and bolts of the next generation protocol for the Internet, IP version 6. Even though many of the RFCs concerning IPv6 are well written, they can be quite cumbersome to wade through. Silvia Hagen manages to distill the material of those RFCs and publish them in an accessible, one volume reference. Furthermore, Hagen addresses some very practical issues...Any network engineer planning to convert a campus environment to IPv6 would do well to get this book since you will refer to it over and over again."
--Clarke Morledge, Williamsburg Macromedia User's Group, Feb 2003

"Stellar for network administrators who wish to learn IPv6."--Jose, OpenBSD Journal, Nov 2002
