Product Description
IPv6 is the future of the always on, mobile Internet. The new version is vital for making that self-restocking fridge scenario into a reality, as the old version (IPv4) is not able to cope with the number of individual machines and people that will need to be networked together in the future. Other business drivers for migrating to IPv6 include: transmitting data wireless-ly (ie. internet access, messaging etc. via your mobile phone), creating home area networks that are constantly connected to the internet, evolving telecommunications systems which transmit voice over IP networks, and many more. Migrating to IPv6 does not try to cover absolutely everything, it is not an ‘everything you ever wanted to know and quite a lot you didn’t’ style reference book, but it IS a ‘how to’ tutorial on implementing, applying and deploying the protocol. The value is in the author’s experience-based advice and techniques for putting the technology to work. Migrating IPv6 features: To the point, practical perspective aimed at people who need to implement IPv6 in their daily work. Contains advice and tried-and-tested practical techniques from the person who ported the first application into IPv6 (Quake) Provides configuration examples of popular implementations: cisco, nortel,microsoft, sun, linux, 3com The ‘insider’ knowledge of the technology as the author is a member of the IPv6 Forum board This is THE book every network (wired and wireless) engineer needs on their bookshelf as a practical and useful reference for IPv6. |

Best IPv6 book. by Yehoshoua Sasson (Newton, MA United States)  5 Stars
February 26, 2008
I own this book for almost 2 years I also own many more and by far this is the best IPv6 book. It covers all the topics of IPv6 and does it in a clear but not to simplistic way.
It serves both as a tutorial and a reference manual. One of the great things about it is that it covers IPv6 configuration on all major platforms like Windows LINUX and many others.

Excellent book! Would definitely recommend it. by R. J. Bennett (Southgate, MI USA) 5 Stars
November 05, 2007
I considered many different books about IPv6. It looks like I made the right choice. This book teaches both about IPv6 itself and how to implement it with different operating systems (Windows XP, Vista, Linux, FreeBSD, etc) using Cisco routers or Juniper routers. I am currently running a dual-stack on my home network (both IPv4 and IPv6) and hope to be fully prepared should I need to migrate a large business network to IPv6 in the near future.
Face it folks, IPv6 is coming. Windows Vista comes with it enabled, as well as a few tunneling technologies (such as ISATAP) to help the transition from IPv4.

Best book on IPv6 by Samson Million (Bellevue, WA) 5 Stars
April 18, 2006
I have half a dozen books on IPv6 on my shelf and by far Migrating to IPv6 provides the most comprehensive view of IPv6 and related protocols in both breath and depth. The book is written in clear and concise manner so it is a perfect learning tool. Moreover, it also makes for a good reference book because each chapter in the book is self-contained.
Our team works on IPv6 transition and we liked Migrating to IPv6 so much that we order a book for each team member. This is a must have book if you are working in Networking.

Comprehensive and up-to-date reference ... by John Spence (Seattle, WA United States) 5 Stars
January 23, 2006
This is a very comprehensive reference for IPv6. The author covers IPv6 from the basics to advanced topics like multicasting, anycasting, and mobility. The book even covers the application aspects of IPv6 and porting issues, as Marc has that background as well. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking a up-to-the-minutes overview of IPv6, and as a reference for anyone that will be working with the protocol over the years ahead.

Great V6 Transition Handbook by David B. Green (Herndon Va, USA) 5 Stars
January 19, 2006
Really useful IPv6 technical books are few and far between because the technology is so new and evolving rapidly so its hard for a book to keep up. Marc's new book is the most up to date and informative book available now. I've got a copy on my bookshelf and am already handing it to clients for reference about our IPv6 integration projects.
Amazon's date is wrong on this book. It was just published in Jan 2006, not in 2002.
Sylvia Hagen's book IPv6 Essentials is also excellent - I'm waiting for the 2nd edition to bring it up to date.

| Running IPv6
by Iljitsch van Beijnum (Author)
With the exponential growth of internet services, IPv4, first released in 1981, is becoming even more outdated and irrelevant. The escalation of corporate intranets, cellular phones with internet access, technology webcasts, and file sharing have taken their toll, and there is a need for a greater number of IP addresses. While IPv4 uses 34-bit addresses, IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long, and allow for more unique addresses. While the adoption of IPv6 won’t be immediate, it is necessary....

| IPv6 Network Administration
by David Malone (Author), Niall Richard Murphy (Author)
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...
