Product Description
Product Description
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) greatly improves on IPv4 by vastly increasing the number of available addresses and by enabling more efficient routing, simpler configuration, built-in IP security, better support for real-time data delivery, and other essential enhancements. Find out all about this next-generation IP—from its features and benefits to its packet structure and protocol processes—in UNDERSTANDING IPV6. This book-plus-CD package thoroughly discusses IPv6 protocols and processes and describes how IPv6 is supported in the latest versions of the Microsoft® Windows® operating system, including the upcoming Windows Server 2003 family. It also describes transition technologies that allow you to deploy IPv6 in IPv4 intranets and across the IPv4 Internet. It’s ideal for any network administrator, consultant, engineer, technician, or student who wants to understand the importance of IPv6 and how it works and begin planning to transition to IPv6 internetworking. Topics covered include: • Features and benefits of IPv6 • IPv6 in the Windows Server 2003 family • IPv6 addressing and the IPv6 header • Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6 (ICMPv6) • Neighbor and multicast listener discovery • Address autoconfiguration • IPv6 name resolution and routing • Coexistence and migration • IPv6 mobility • Appendixes: Link layer support for IPv6, changes to Windows Sockets in IPv6, an IPv6 RFC index, answers to self-test questions about IPv6, reference tables, plus how to set up an IPv6 test lab To learn of IPv6 developments that have occurred since publication of this book download Updates to Understanding IPv6, a white paper by author Joseph Davies. Winner of a Distinguished Award and the Best of Show at the Puget Sound Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication (STC), January 2004). Winner of a Distinguished Award at the International STC competition, May 2004.

One stop shop for IPv6!
18 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book takes the IT specialist or CS engineer through all of the areas affected by IPv6. You'd be hard pressed to find all of this information in 3 other books combined!
- Want to know what the IPv6 solution is to Private Internets and NATs?
- Want to know how an ad hoc IPv6 network for a home would work?
- Want to know how to apply for your own personal range of IPv6 addresses?
- Want to know what changes need to be made at the server level?
- Are you ready for IPSec?
All of this and much more is packed into this reference manual. Mine is already dog-eared and showing signs of wear. I had to write my name on it to keep it from "walking off."

Effective Book - Not Just for Windows folks
18 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback
Bottom line up front: If you are a programmer or are primarily interested in Linux, you can probably change the rating to "4 stars", simply because this book is oriented towards the Microsoft set, and is primarily focused on the features of IPv6 and networking, with no code samples.
Even so, if you are looking for a volume that covers all of the major aspects of IPv6 down to the packet level, this is a good place to start. CD-ROM includes PowerPoint slides and an "e-book" (in .chm format, sorry anti-Microsoft folks).
Basic breakdown of each chapter is to introduce a topic in generalities, and delve into specifics, offering syntax examples of commands, etc. in Windows format where appropriate.
Overall, this is a solid book. Given the shortage of "overview" style IPv6 books as of this writing, this book is a necessity (Microsofty or not) for your bookshelf if you will be implementing IPv6 any any form in the foreseeable future.

Well written, but getting old
8 May 2006
Format:Paperback
I got this book awhile back and just got it off the shelf for a refresher. I am most interested in multicast, but it says that IGMPv3 is an internet draft and the equivalent MLD doesn't exist yet. That may have been true 4 years ago when the book was published, but things have evolved since then. I think the same is true for some other areas, such as v4/v6 interop standards. This book is a decent primer and the price isn't bad, but it's old enough I'd go with something newer. I'm shopping for a replacement myself.
