PREFACE
This book is meant to be used as a guide by network engineers and architects while deploying IPv6 in their broadband networks. Service providers worldwide are looking for ways to expand their networks and to meet the scalability requirements of the growing number of always-on devices connected to the Internet. IPv6 is currently the only solution available to meet these challenges and to enable service providers to scale their networks and provide new services to customers.
The focus of the book is on many of the challenges faced by service providers today and how IPv6 addresses these issues. Chapter 1 covers drivers for IPv6 in broadband networks to give readers an idea of why they should be looking at deploying IPv6 in their networks. Chapter 2 provides an overview of IPv6 protocol basics and provisioning.
Chapters 3 and 4 are concentrated on IPv6 deployment techniques in various broadband networks, such as cable, DSL, ETTH, and wireless. Comparisons are drawn between IPv4 and IPv6 deployment models, and similarities and differences between the two are discussed in detail.
The concluding four chapters deal in detail with the configuration of different network components in an IPv6 broadband solution, and provide guidelines on debugging and troubleshooting IPv6-related issues. This will help readers configure and troubleshoot problems when they deploy IPv6 in their networks.
Appendix A has a real-life SP case study of Free's IPv6 broadband deployment. Free is the second-largest ...
