IPv6 Essentials (IPV6E)

• Technical Decision makers
• Network Analysts
• IT-Consultants
• System Administrators
• Network and System Engineers

You need a good understanding of networking in general and of TCP/IP. Regarding IPv6 no previous knowledge is necessary.

IPv6 has been heavily discussed for almost a decade. Some people therefore think that it will never come true. Fact is that IPv6 is well-engineered and mature and will be the basis of our future networks and the Internet. This 2-day-workshop shows, what future services are possible with IPv6. It describes the important and new functions of IPv6 from the technical aspect, compares these with IPv4 and gives a good overview of existing transition and coexistence mechanisms of IPv6 with IPv4. Hands-on exercises give you the opportunity to become familiar with the new protocol. The main focus of the workshop is on the technology. You will have the opportunity to configure the protocol on Linux and Windows, as well as on a router and analyze the communication in trace files.
