An essential, comprehensive, and practical guide to IPv6 concepts, service implementation, and interoperability in existing IPv4 environments
After completing Deploying IPv6 Networks, you will:
- Understand the current state of IPv6 technologies and services
- Understand the IPv6 features as they are applied in service deployments
- Be prepared with guidelines on how to ready your organization for a migration to IPv6
- Know how to design and implement an IPv6 production-level network using the book’s templates and examples
- Have the ability to configure and troubleshoot IPv6 networks
- Know where IPv6 developments are moving in the future
