Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IPv6, the next generation Internet Protocol, has been in the works since the
early 90s when the rapid growth of the Internet threatened to exhaust existing
IP addresses. Drawing on 20 years of operational experience with the existing
protocol (IPv4), the new protocol offers scalability, increased security
features, real-time traffic support, and auto-configuration -- so that even a
novice user can connect a machine to the Internet. But what does this mean for
IT professionals? Having learned all the strengths and weaknesses of the old
protocol, will you need to start from scratch with the new?

IPv6 Essentials provides a succinct, in-depth tour of all the new features and
functions in IPv6, guiding you through everything you need to know to get
started -- including how to configure IPv6 on hosts and routers and which
applications currently support IPv6. Aimed at system and network administrators,
engineers, network designers, and IT managers, this book will help you plan for,
design, and integrate IPv6 into your current IPv4 infrastructure.

Beginning with a short history of IPv6, Silvia Hagen provides an overview of its
new functionality and describes some live test and production networks that are
using the new protocol. Hagen then shares informative in-depth discussions of
the new IPv6 header format and Extension Headers, IPv6 address format, and IPv6
message format. IPv6 Essentials also covers:

* Security in IPv6: concepts, requirements, and solutions -- including the
IPSEC framework and security elements available for authentication and
encryption
* Quality of Service: covers the types of QoS in IPv6 and how they can be
implemented
* Networking: Layer 2 support for IPv6 with sample network designs that show
how to integrate IPv6 into your network without interrupting IPv4 services
* Routing protocols and upper layer protocols

Getting started on different operating systems: Sun Solaris, Linux, Windows 2000
and Windows XP

Whether you're ready to start implementing IPv6 today or are planning your
strategy for the future, IPv6 Essentials will provide the solid foundation you
need to get started.
