Course Description IPv6 is the result of many years of research activity by the international Internet community and various vendors. IPv6 provides increased addressing space, improved QoS, mobility, and routing, along with better security and support for new applications.
The implementation and migration to IPv6 is inevitable and will impact on all companies that maintain, implement use and develop IP networks and applications. In this course, you will learn the basics, the protocols and the implementations. The course provides in-depth knowledge in the protocol and common standards.
