 Chapter 1 IPv6 - The Internet Protocol (IP) is the most successful network protocol in the history of network protocols.Chapter 2 Getting Started - IPv6 addresses are written differently: as eight 16-bit hexadecimal values separated by colons rather than as four 8-bit decimal values separated by periods. Chapter 3 Tunnels - This chapter discusses automatic 6to4 tunneling and manually configured tunnels. Chapter 4 Routing - This chapter explains how to set up IPv6 routing, both in a simple end-user environment and in an ISP or enterprise environment, where one or more routing protocols are deployed. Chapter 5 The DNS - Later in this chapter, we’ll look at the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) DNS server software, but before that, I’ll provide a refresher on how the DNS works and the changes that were necessary for IPv6. Chapter 6 Applications - The purpose of this chapter is merely to provide some examples of popular software or protocols that are compatible with IPv6. Chapter 7 The Transition - Although IPv6 is by no means a simple protocol in and of itself, most of the complexities related to running IPv6 stem from the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, and the coexistence of the two protocols. Chapter 8 IPv6 Internals - This chapter will look at IPv6 internals. A lot of this is pretty dry stuff: options, headers, more options, lifetimes. Chapter 9 Security - This chapter will explain the differences between IPv6 and IPv4 with regard to security, as well as explain how standard security devices such as packet filters apply to IPv6. Chapter 10 Troubleshooting - The first part of this chapter explains tcpdump, a popular tool for inspecting packets flowing over the network. tcpdump will tell you which IP version you’re using without fail. Chapter 11 Providing Transit Services - The most important difference is the way in which customers get their addresses, both because IPv6 has stateless autoconfiguration but mostly lacks DHCP and because the address space is so much larger, making for very different address policies.
