Implementing IPv6

Implementing IPv6

Migrating to the Next Generation Internet Protocol

The Internet has become a resounding success, reaching from the original applications in the educational and research communities to general business applications. And with that success has come new requirements that go beyond the capabilities of the current Internet Protocol, or IP, which was published in 1981. More importantly, IP is the foundation of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Therefore if IP is revised, other protocols must be changed as well. This one-day tutorial will provide in-depth details on the Internet Protocol – next generation (IPng), or IPv6 as it if formally known, that network designers, managers, and software developers will require.

Tutorial Outline

	Defining a new Internet Protocol: the Need for IPng
	The IPv6 Specification
	Addressing Architecture
	Intranetwork Communication: ICMPv6 and Neighbor Discovery
	Autoconfiguration and Local Network Issues
	Routing Issues: RIPng, OSPF and BGP for IPv6
	Host Issues: Upper Layer Protocols, APIs and Security
	Network Management Issues
	Transition Strategies: Moving from IPv4 to IPv6
	Vendor Solutions and Implementation Plans
	References for Further Study

Who Should Attend

Engineers, software developers, or network managers needing in-depth knowledge of the IPv6 protocol, and strategies for migrating from TCP/IP to IPv6-based internetworks.
