What once seemed nearly impossible has turned into reality. The
number of available Internet addresses is now nearly exhausted, due
mostly to the explosion of commercial websites and entries from an
expanding number of countries. This growing shortage has effectively
put the Internet community--and some of its most brilliant engineers--
on alert for the last decade. Their solution was to create IPv6, a
new Internet standard which will ultimately replace the current and
antiquated IPv4. As the new backbone of the Internet, this new
protocol would fix the most difficult problems that the Internet faces
today--scalability and management. And even though IPv6's
implementation has met with some resistance over the past few years,
all signs are now pointing to its gradual worldwide adoption in the
very near future. Sooner or later, all network administrators will
need to understand IPv6, and now is a good time to get started. IPv6
Network Administration offers administrators the complete inside info
on IPv6. This book reveals the many benefits as well as the potential
downsides of this next-generation protocol. It also shows readers
exactly how to set up and administer an IPv6 network. A must-have for
network administrators everywhere, IPv6 Network Administration
delivers an even-handed approach to what will be the most fundamental
change to the Internet since its inception. Some of the other IPv6
assets that are covered include:

--routing

--integrated auto-configuration

--quality-of-services (QoS)

--enhanced mobility

--end-to-end securityIPv6 Network Administration explains what
works, what doesn't, and most of all, what's practical when
considering upgrading networks from the current protocol to IPv6.
