Product Description
Review
"The book will definitely be a part of the toolkit of the practitioners when the eventual large-scale migration of Pv4 addressing to IPv6 starts gathering momentum." (Desicritics.org, November 21, 2006)
Product Description
Understand IPv6, the protocol essential to future Internet growth.
Exhaustion of address space and global routing table growth necessitate important revisions to the current version of the Internet Protocol, IPv4. IP version 6 offers greater address space and additional features to support the evolving requirements of Internet applications. Deployed alongside current IPv4 networks, IPv6 will restore the full-fledge network necessary for Internet growth.
Migrating to IPv6 gives a comprehensive overview of IPv6 and related protocols, the layers below IPv6 to the application and end-user layers. Author Marc Blanchet offers a direct and clear route to understanding the topic, taking a top-down approach and ordering topics by relevance. Tried and tested practical techniques and advice on implementation, applications and deployment provide ‘how-to’ information on everything you need to know to put the technology to work.
Migrating to IPv6:
- Provides a complete, up-to-date, in-depth, and accessible practical guide to IPv6.
- Demonstrates the theory with practical and generic examples and major implementation configurations, such as Windows, FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, Cisco, Juniper and Hexago.
- Provides a comprehensive reference to key data structures and packet formats.
- Summarizes topics in table and graphical form to give fast access to information, including over 200 figures.
- Offers an accompanying website with extra coverage of specific topics, information on additional protocols and specifications, and updates on new features.
This text will give network engineers, managers and operators, software engineers and IT professionals and analysts a thorough understanding of IPv6.

Best book on IPv6, April 18 2006
By Samson Million "Avaliant LLC" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Migrating to IPv6: A Practical Guide to Implementing IPv6 in Mobile and Fixed Networks (Hardcover)
I have half a dozen books on IPv6 on my shelf and by far Migrating to IPv6 provides the most comprehensive view of IPv6 and related protocols in both breath and depth. The book is written in clear and concise manner so it is a perfect learning tool. Moreover, it also makes for a good reference book because each chapter in the book is self-contained.Our team works on IPv6 transition and we liked Migrating to IPv6 so much that we order a book for each team member. This is a must have book if you are working in Networking.

Comprehensive and up-to-date reference ..., Jan 23 2006
By John Spence - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Migrating to IPv6: A Practical Guide to Implementing IPv6 in Mobile and Fixed Networks (Hardcover)
This is a very comprehensive reference for IPv6. The author covers IPv6 from the basics to advanced topics like multicasting, anycasting, and mobility. The book even covers the application aspects of IPv6 and porting issues, as Marc has that background as well. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking a up-to-the-minutes overview of IPv6, and as a reference for anyone that will be working with the protocol over the years ahead.

Great V6 Transition Handbook, Jan 19 2006
By David B. Green - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Migrating to IPv6: A Practical Guide to Implementing IPv6 in Mobile and Fixed Networks (Hardcover)
Really useful IPv6 technical books are few and far between because the technology is so new and evolving rapidly so its hard for a book to keep up. Marc's new book is the most up to date and informative book available now. I've got a copy on my bookshelf and am already handing it to clients for reference about our IPv6 integration projects.Amazon's date is wrong on this book. It was just published in Jan 2006, not in 2002.
Sylvia Hagen's book IPv6 Essentials is also excellent - I'm waiting for the 2nd edition to bring it up to date.
