IPv6 – Basics, Protocols and Implementation (Hands On)
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, along with hands-on lab exercises
Objectives By the end of the course, the participant will be able to:
Describe the IPv6 protocol and addressing
Perform IPv6 address design
Understand the IPv6 packet structure and headers
Understand IPv6 mechanisms, including routing, security, QoS, mobility and various features
Understand IPv4 to IPv6 migration techniques and migration strategies
Use IPv6 mechanisms, and practice the in the lab
