About this ebook

If your organization is gearing up for IPv6, this in-depth book provides the practical information and guidance you need to plan for, design, and implement this vastly improved protocol. Author Silvia Hagen takes system and network administrators, engineers, and network designers through the technical details of IPv6 features and functions, and provides options for those who need to integrate IPv6 with their current IPv4 infrastructure.

The flood of Internet-enabled devices has made migrating to IPv6 a paramount concern worldwide. In this updated edition, Hagen distills more than ten years of studying, working with, and consulting with enterprises on IPv6. It’s the only book of its kind.

IPv6 Essentials covers:

  • Address architecture, header structure, and the ICMPv6 message format
  • IPv6 mechanisms such as Neighbor Discovery, Stateless Address autoconfiguration, and Duplicate Address detection
  • Network-related aspects and services: Layer 2 support, Upper Layer Protocols, and Checksums
  • IPv6 security: general practices, IPSec basics, IPv6 security elements, and enterprise security models
  • Transitioning to IPv6: dual-stack operation, tunneling, and translation techniques
  • Mobile IPv6: technology for a new generation of mobile services
  • Planning options, integration scenarios, address plan, best practices, and dos and don’ts

The PDF version of this book is a fraud as it's advertised as "Original pages", but doesn't reflected the formatting of the printed book's "original pages". Imagine converting the ePub to a single HTML document, "printing" it as a PDF, in a web browser, and watermarking "Digitized by Google" at the bottom of every page. If I only cared about the content then the ePub would suffice, but in that case I would purchase the Kindle version for less. This book is an awesome reference on all things IPv6. I have the 2nd edition, purchased directly from O'Reilly in both ePub and PDF versions, and wanted to update to the 3rd edition. O'Reilly no longer does direct sales, I want the PDF version (which is easier to reference due to unconsciously memorizing page layout of frequently referenced sections), and Amazon (which O'Reilly's product web-page links to) only sells printed or Mobi (neither of which are electronic AND the original, printed format), so I came to Google Play because it advertised PDF, ie "Original pages". The book has great content, but Google's PDF formatting is horrible.
