Reader Reviews
This review is from: IPv6 Clearly Explained (Paperback)
There has been much talk about the Internet running out of IP addresses for several years now and how this "next generation" IP, IPv6 can help solve this problem. IPv6 is a streamlined version of the current IP version, IPv4 and among the topics this book covers is these various differences. The book starts off in the first few chapters with a "history" of IPv4 and the reasons why it needs to be updated, along with a brief "intro" to it. One thing I hadn't known about previously was the "Internet model" of internetworking, which as four levels instead of the standard seven with the OSI model. Also covered are reasons why IPv4 no longer "works" and then the origins of IPv6. One thing too about Ipv6 that because it is a streamlined version of IPv4, that items like headers and such are streamlined as well, some items necessary in IPv4 are not needed with IPv6. Other issues covered? Addressing, Routing, Security, related protocols, and transition strategies. IPv6 is already being implemented around the world and this book, albeit a bit dated at this point offers an excellent description of the "next generation" version of IP.
