Ipv6 Deployment And Management

Because the use of the Internet is growing so rapidly in Asia, warn software developers Dooley and Rooney, Asian institutions and individuals new to the Internet will start immediately with IPv6 (Internet Protocol version six) rather than moving from IPv4, which everyone uses now. For longer than is profitable, therefore, the Internet will be divided into two spheres that cannot communicate with each other-- unless service providers take measures to access both protocols. They explain how IPv4 providers can accommodate IPv6 users. Among the topics are IPv6 deployment drivers, co-existence technologies, security planning, network management planning, and managing the IPv4/IPv6 network.
