DUBLIN, Ireland--Jan. 19, 2006--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c31150) has announced the addition of Migrating to IPv6: A Practical Guide to Implementing
IPv6 in Mobile and Fixed Networks to their offering.
IPv6 is the future of the always on, mobile Internet. The new version is vital
for making that self-restocking fridge scenario into a reality, as the old version
(IPv4) is not able to cope with the number of individual machines and people that
will need to be networked together in the future. Other business drivers for migrating
to IPv6 include: transmitting data wirelessly (i.e. internet access, messaging
etc. via your mobile phone), creating home area networks that are constantly connected
to the internet, evolving telecommunications systems which transmit voice over
IP networks, and many more.
There will be an explosion of books on the topic but many will just re-hash the
specs and other information which is readily available online. This book is different
in that it does not try to cover absolutely everything, it is not everything you
ever wanted to know and quite a lot you didn't style reference book, but it is
aiming to be a how to tutorial on implementing, applying and deploying the protocol.
The value is in the author's experience-based advice and techniques for putting
the technology to work. Some background facts: - Nokia are planning to build IPv6
into their new mobile handsets - 300 million phones. "I'd say there is a very
good probability that the IPv6 spec will be mandated by the upcoming 3GPP (3rd
Generation Partnership Program) wireless standard" said Steve Deering, a technical
leader at Cisco Systems.
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. It demonstrates the theory with practical and generic
examples and major implementation configurations, such as Windows, FreeBSD, Linux,
Solaris, Cisco, Juniper and Hexago. It provides a comprehensive reference to key
data structures and packet formats and summarizes topics in table and graphical
form to give fast access to information, including over 200 figures. It also 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.
