IPv6 Instructor-Led and Online Training
IPv6 Primer
In the late 1980s, the IETF recognized that the useful life of the current version of IP, Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), would not last forever. Address space was cited as IPv4’s biggest weakness; although a 32 bit address should allow us to identify up to four billion hosts, hierarchical address structures, such as the one used with IP, have inefficiencies that result in addresses running out. Many experts are now predicting we will be out of IPv4 addresses in 2012.While still quite usable and implemented on the current Internet, IPv4 has been showing its age in many areas and a replacement protocol is needed.
This course explores the evolution of the Internet Protocol, the enhancements of IPv6 over IPv4, and why and when we need IPv6. The course also examines the IPv6 header fields, address structure, description, and address types. Finally, the course explains the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 that must take place and why.
This course has three primary objectives.
• Describe the specifics of IPv6
• Make the case for why we need IPv6 (podsnack)
• Describe network migration options
