Deploying IPv6 in Broadband Access Networks


Product Description
An essential reference for deploying IPv6 in broadband networksWith 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 serversThe 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.
Deploying IPv6 in Broadband Access Networks Review
I think the previous reviewer was unfair. In those chapters on implementation it is true that only Cisco network systems are used (25 hits for "Cisco" and none for competitors) (however, in computers Microsoft, Linux, Solaris, Mac, etc. are covered). The author is the co-author of an RFC on the topic of this book (RFC 4779), so he has plenty of knowledge and credibility. I've just started reading the RFC and the book so this review is preliminary, but skimming them it is apparent that many suggestions and industry specific comments that don't belong in an RFC are present in the book. Also background and quick refreshers on IPv6 and the broadband technologies (DSL, Cable, etc.) are in the book so the reader can concentrate on the IPv6 deployment details (instead of being lost because they forgot something more basic). There is even an appendix on 6rd, which is a recent method for deployment. Covers cable, DSL, wireless, and Ethernet technologies. Also covers both customer edge and provider edge routers.
