Book description
An essential reference for deploying IPv6 in broadband networks
With the exponential growth of the Internet and increasing number of
end users, service providers are increasingly looking for ways to
expand their networks to meet the scalability requirements of the
growing number of Internet-ready appliances or "always-on"
devices. This book bridges a gap in the literature by providing
coverage of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), specifically in
broadband access networks. The authors, who are Cisco Certified
Internetworking Experts (CCIE), provide comprehensive and first-rate
coverage of:
-
IPv6 drivers in broadband networks
-
IPv6 deployment in Cable, DSL, ETTH, and Wireless networks
-
Configuring and troubleshooting IPv6 gateway routers and host
-
Configuring and troubleshooting IPv6 edge routers
-
Configuring and troubleshooting IPv6 provisioning servers
The authors also discuss challenges faced by service providers and
how IPv6 addresses these issues. Additionally, the book is
complemented with examples throughout to further facilitate readers'
comprehension and a real large-scale IPv6 BB SP case study is
presented. Deploying IPv6 in Broadband Access Networks is
essential reading for network operators, network design engineers and
consultants, network architects, and members of the networking
community.
