IPv6: A Framework For The Next Generation Internet
offers a comprehensive introduction to the soon-to-be-deployed protocols
that will serve the Internet and Intranets for the next number of years.
Everyone with a professional interest in networking technology will need to
understand the issues and challenges that are certain to accompany this transition.
The current version of IP has served us well -- way beyond the network traffic volume
and size that it was designed to handle.
A globally troublesome shortage of convenient addresses was the initial motivation
to move beyond the world of IPv4, but over time other priorities have come to the surface,
including a need for integrated security solutions and Quality of Service capability to
serve emerging applications.
Implementation of IPv6 has been delayed through innovations, or interim strategies
to keep IPv4 in place.
These have worked reasonably well, but most industry watchers agree that the time to
plan our inevitable move to IPv6 has arrived.
This short course provides the technical professional with the essential background
and information to prepare for this transition, and ensure success with this new
technology.
The objectives of this course are entirely focused on IPv6, and are
designed to:
• devlop an appreciation of how IPv6 works -- demystify this inevitable new technology
• compare features and limitations of IPv4 with the new approach, and yield an
understanding of what the benefits will be
• enable participants to appreciate the way in which IPv6 will affect systems and services
• provide an understanding of the transition issues and challenges that are coming
• yield an appreciation of the new features and services that will be available
This course was designed to be ideally suited to the needs of:
• Network Planners and Consultants
• IT Professionals and Managers
• Technical Specialists and Administrators
• Application Software Designers and Developers
A good knowledge of Internet technology and current practices is assumed.
The Internetworking Protocols; TCP/IP and The Next Generation course offered by
Telematix is recommended as suitable background for this program.
