E-raamat: Deploying IPv6 in Broadband Acess Networks [Wiley Online]

Two internetwork experts at Cisco Systems explain how IPv6 can be deployed in service provider broadband networks, comparing different deployment techniques in several broadband networks such as cable, DSL, ETTH, and wireless. After reviewing the drivers and protocol basics, the guide describes in detail the configuration of different network components in an IPv6 broadband solution and provides guidelines on debugging and troubleshooting gateway routers, edge routers, and provisioning servers. Instructions walk through IPv6 support on Windows XP/Vista, Windows Server 2003 and 2008, Linux, MAC OS, and Sun Solaris. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

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.
