IPv6 Deployment and Management. Dooley Michael

With the announcement in 2011 that the current Internet Protocol (IP), IPv4, has nearly run out, interest in IPv6 – the latest IP version – has grown substantially. This book describes IPv6 technology and its repercussions on organizations, including strategies and techniques for assessing the impact of deploying IPv6 on a network, discovering current IP assets, assessing network readiness, creating a plan to deploy IPv6 while retaining IPv4 connectivity, and for managing a dual protocol IPv4-IPv6 network. It is a must read for IP network engineers, managers, and those who work in IT.
