Description:

The Internet is facing an imminent exhaustion of IP addresses. IPv6, the next-generation Internet Protocol, is designed to address this problem, among other things. If you have not yet started to deploy IPv6, now is the time. The "World IPv6 Launch" event took place in June 2012, and major industry players such as Google, Facebook, Comcast, Yahoo!, Akamai, and Cisco already support IPv6, with many others coming on board in the near future. You need to be next!

This tutorial will provide a detailed introduction to IPv6 and will also cover practical aspects of configuring and using IPv6 in networks, operating systems, and applications. Basic knowledge of IPv4 is assumed, but no prior knowledge of IPv6 is necessary. The course will go over the basics of IPv6 and dive into the details you need.

Who should attend:

System administrators, network administrators, and application developers who need to prepare for migration to IPv6, and anyone who wants a general introduction to IPv6 and what is involved in deploying it.

Take back to work:

An understanding of IPv6, with the basic knowledge to begin designing and deploying IPv6 networks, systems, and applications.
