Title: IPv6 Networks
Description: Catch the IPv6 wave-discover the power of the next-generation Internet Protocol and how to migrate your existing systems from IPv4 to IPv6! With the Internet doubling in size every 10 to 12 months and themarket increasingly demanding live audio and video transmission over the Internet, the time has come for a next-generation Internet Protocol that will be able to cope with these rapidly escalating user volume and traffic demands. Enter IPv6--the result of 7 years of workby the Internet Engineering Task Force to find a successor to IPv4. It put on the Internet Standards Track in December 1995 and will soon be rolling into the marketplace. Network professionals everywhere--integrators, network architects, network managers, technical managers, and others planning to make the transition from IPv4 to IPv6--owe it to themselves and their organizations to learn everything they can about IPv6 now. And this first-of-its kind hands-on guide to IPv6 is the easiest and most accessible place to start. It includes detailed discussions of IPv6 theory, applications, configuration and vendor offerings, along with a number of other topics: the role of IPv6 in the TCP/IP architecture; new features in Internet Control Message Protocol for iPv6; how to send multimediapresentations and messages over the Internet using IPv6 andmulticasting; the expandied 128-bit addressing capabilities of IPv6 and how domain names are translated into IP addresses; tunneling in the IPv6 environment, and much more. Plus, it provides hands-on practical examples of how to: manage the IPv6 intranet address space, design an intranet routing hierarchy, set up and manage an IPv6security system, and migrate existing applications and network services to help.
