IPv6 Implementation Training:

IPv6 Implementation Training Course with Hands-on Labs (Online, Onsite and Classroom Live)

IPv6 is the NextGen protocol designed by the IETF to supplant IPv4, the version that has been in use for over two decades. IPv6 overcomes some of the limitations of IPv4, such as the limited address space, while introducing a number of enhancements in areas such as routing and network auto-configuration.

IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the two coexisting for a number of years. With IPv4 networks now migrating to IPv6 worldwide, there is a need for a strong hands-on workshop focusing on IPv6 migration. This course was designed to address that need.

The IPv6 Implementation Training course provides an overview of RFC 3775, Mobility Support in IPv6, RFC 4283, Mobile Node Identifier Option for Mobile IPv6, RFC 4285, Authentication Protocol for Mobile IPv6, Dual Stack operation, and supporting knowledge, and is customizable to include other topics that are relevant to your network’s IPv6 migration.

Customize It:

• If you are familiar with some aspects of IPv6 Implementation Training, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
• We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the IPv6 Implementation Training course around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
• If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the IPv6 Implementation Training course in a manner understandable to lay audiences.

Audience/Target Group:

The target audience for this IPv6 Implementation course:

• This IPv6 Implementation Training course is aimed at network design and architecture professionals with an average of 3-5 years of experience who are migrating ISP access and backbone interconnection to IPv6.

Class Prerequisites

The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this IPv6 Implementation course are:

• Participants should have a solid understanding of IPv4 packet network architectures, operations, and protocols. There is no coverage of IPv4 in this course. The only references to IPv4 are for purposes of comparison and understanding IPv6. To get the most from this course, participants should also have a working knowledge of Wireshark.
