Address Unknown: A Guide to IPv6 offers a complete overview and introduction to the requirements and features of IP addressing within TCP/IP Version 6. IPv6 is the latest version of the core Internet communications protocol TCP/IP. The current version, IPv4, will eventually give ground to IPv6. However, network analysts project that the two versions of TCP/IP will live together for the next few years. TCP/IP addressing in IPv4 is based on a 32-bit addressing scheme. IPv6 will enable 128-bit addressing thus increasing the number of potential addresses on the Internet and avoiding the dire predictions that the Internet will run out of addressing space in the near future.
This book provides a complete introduction to the TCP/IP addressing system and prepares system administrators to integrate IPv6 features into their Internet architecture. This book will be of interest to all system administrators managing an IP network, consultants working on IPv6 systems, as well as network design engineers seekingto fully understand IPv6 addressing issues.
Key Features
* Details the transition from TCP/IP Version 4 to IP Version 6 addressing
* Includes important Internet RFCs detailing the IPv6 standard and addressing issues
* Helps system administrators managing IP networks to understand the 128-bit addressing scheme and prepares them to transition from the current 32-bit address space
Synopsis
introduction to IPv6
Addressing by Peter H. Salus, the RFCs are then presented in chronological
order and the entire volume is supported by an extensive index that makes
specific information about IPv6 Addressing even easier to locate.
All of the important RFCs defining the IPv6 Addressing scheme are collected
in this volume. The RFCs offer a complete overview of the current status
of addressing, how IPv6 will address the future needs of the Internet and
fundamental RFCs detailing how IPv6 Addressing will work. If you buy one
IPv6 Addressing reference, this is the one to choose. The individual RFCs
were written by members of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF),
edited and posted to the internet. This compilation of RFCs is the most
complete and authoritative IPv6 Addressing reference available.
Features:
- Classless Inter-Domain Routing
- Mobility Support
- Neighbor Discovery
- IPv6 over ATM Networks
