An essential, comprehensive, and practical guide to IPv6 concepts, service implementation, and interoperability in existing IPv4 environments
After completing Deploying IPv6 Networks, you will:
Large IPv6 production deployments worldwide are proof that the transition to the next generation of the IP protocol is no longer merely a predictionâ??IPv6 is now touching all aspects of IP networking and communications. Therefore, understanding the technology and being able to plan, design, and deploy IPv6 services are necessary skills for networking professionals.
Deploying IPv6 Networks is an essential guide to IPv6 concepts, service implementation, and interoperability in existing IPv4 environments. You’ll learn about IPv6 as a mature technology ready for deployment. Deploying IPv6 Networks goes beyond addressing the basics of IPv6 yet remains accessible to readers unfamiliar with the protocol. With this book in hand, you will learn how to plan, design, deploy, and manage IPv6 services.
Deploying IPv6 Networks opens with an updated “Case for IPv6”: a review of the IPv4 challenges and the IPv6 opportunities. It then covers the IPv6 concepts related to IP services provided in real networks. Relevant features and corresponding configuration examples are presented in a deployment context as they are applied to the various segments of the network. The IPv6 knowledge accumulated in the first part of the book is revisited in Part II, where it is leveraged in concrete and usable examples that cover most common network environments: MPLS service provider, IP service provider, and enterprise. The structure of Deploying IPv6 Networks enables you to use it as a reference for specific aspects of IPv6, as a technology study guide, or as a design guide for deploying IPv6. You’ll also find that the presentation approach enables you to leverage your IPv4 experience to quickly become knowledgeable and proficient with the concepts of IPv6. |

It's not 'if' IPv6 will build in national and international importance, but 'when' we will use IPv6 as freely as we use IPv4.
Thank you to Popovici, CCIE #4499, for sharing a wealth of IPv6 development knowledge including network designs, network-management architectures and case studies. "Deploying IPv6 Networks" has helped me better understand the IPv4-to-IPv6 transition techniques including dual stack technology, VPN's, tunnel brokers, security, best practices and much more. Well written, easy to read. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-03-02 06:14:43 EST)

This book is a great technical book on current IPv6 technology state and direction. It covers many of the newer topics in IPv6 and provides good examples of how Cisco has implemented these. The diagrams, tables, and organization are all top-notch. The configuration examples, show command output and the debug output are very helpful. It is easy to read despite the very technical subject matter. The heavy use of diagrams/tables/config examples help technical people understand the material because they are more visually-oriented. The case studies at the end are very helpful for service providers and enterprises.

This is an ideal book for a knowledgeable and self-motivated IPv4 network engineer to pick up and learn a great deal about IPv6 - especially about IPv6 as it is being deployed today in enterprise and ISP networks. The book is certainly not for beginners to networking - the book moves quickly to emphasize the differences between IPv4 and IPv6, assuming you are a pretty advanced IPv4 engineer to begin. But, this conciseness is one of the books great strengths. It assumes you can pickup the basics quickly (the first few chapters provide an excellent but accelerated recap of the basics) or from one of the many references the book provides, and instead focused on information you don't see in IPv6 books as much - deployment issues, innovative solutions, and throughout - real-world insight. The book is absolutely up-to-date. It is my "go to" book on advanced IPv6 deployment strategies, and should be on every budding IPv6 engineer's bookshelf. Right in the front.

This is a great book if you have a lot of previous networking knowledge. I do not recommend this book for someone new to the industry, or someone that is learning about IPv6 for the first time.
The book does a good job and describing what is necessary for a service provider to do in order to roll out an IPv6 implementation, and does a great job describing Ipv4 and IPv6. This book is a must have for a Cisco library, but once again, I do not recommend it for a first timer. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-12-14 02:52:35 EST)

This book is targeted toward network service provider engineers. It is "cutting edge" in that some parts of it deal with technology that is not only not deployed in production yet, but is only in draft form in the standards community. Also ambitious enterprise network administrators may want to stretch their understanding of the next generation global transport protocol. Deploying IPv6 Networks is both an exhaustive analogy of the many uses of IPv6 and also a how-to manual with many configuration examples.
Chapters 12 through 15 are dedicated to deployment Case studies for both ISPs and company networks. The book became most interesting to me in Chapter 8, Advanced Services - Ipv6 Mobility. This chapter covers the challenges of keeping a globally unique address while roaming to different parts of the planet. There is a thorough explanation of the roles that Cisco routers can play in relaying traffic to the ever changing location of mobile users. Chapter 2 is a good refresher of the basics of IPv6 as described in the RFCs. The author gives good reference throughout the book for further research on each topic, such as RFCs and other books that specialize on topics like VPNs and Security. The diagrams, that are spaced every few pages, give clarity to the subject. Finally, the book is balanced and realistic in its philosophy of the technology. That is the writers are not naďve about the problems with implementing IPv6 and they address this in every chapter. Technology usually changes so rapidly we spend all our time just trying to catch up. The slow start of IPv6 gives us no excuse for being unprepared when the next killer application or device demands its implementation in our network. Reading Deploying IPv6 Networks is sure to pay off. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-12-14 02:52:35 EST)

Advanced network administrators and programmers alike will welcome to technical reference Ciprian Popoviciu, et.al.'s DEPLOYING IPV6 NETWORKS, which discusses large deployment serve implementation in existing Ipv4 environments. Concepts are connected to real networks and IP service issues and cover everything from design objectives around the world and different ISP customer needs and profiles to getting information from routers and switches, defining MIBs for supporting Ipv6 information and different deployment plans and strategies. A 'must' reference for advanced technical network engineers.

Ten years ago, I read my first book on IPv6. Very promising. Yet in the interim, it appears that IPv6's rollout has stalled. Against all expectations, IPv4 [the current Internet] has held out. Notably in not yet running out of addresses to disburse.
Well, the authors of this book explain that IPv6 has scarcely died. Its feature set has grown and matured in these years, as more test usages of it have revealed needs and weaknesses in the early IPv6. Plus, various networks using IPv6 do in fact exist. These are interoperable with the current IPv4 Internet. The book points out that the need for more addressing than what IPv4 can offer has not gone away. This may be the fundamental push that eventually will lead to broad adoption of IPv6. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-10-13 23:16:55 EST)
