PartÂ I.Â Preparation

The next three chapters seek to establish some critical context for the IPv6 address planning principles in the chapters that follow. Youâre welcome to think of it as kind of a crash course in IPv6: just the right depth of the right kind of IPv6 knowledge to create a better foundation for our main topic and task at hand. If the essentials of IPv6 addressing and adoption are already old hat to you, please feel free to skip ahead to Part II to get right to the design principles and practices.
