About This Book
This book covers IPv6 in detail and explains all the new features and functions. It will show you how to plan for, design, and integrate IPv6 in your current IPv4 infrastructure. It also teaches you what you need to know to get started, to configure IPv6 on your hosts and routers, and to find the right applications that support IPv6.
Now that you know what this book is about, I should explain what this book does not cover. This book is not written for developers. This doesn’t mean you should not be reading it if you are a developer. If you do, you will understand the implications of introducing IPv6 in your network and how important it is to develop cool applications for IPv6.
This book assumes that you have a good understanding of network issues in general, and that you are familiar with IPv4. It is beyond the scope of this book to discuss IPv4 concepts in detail. We refer to them when necessary. But if you want to learn more about IPv4, there are a lot of good books on the market. You can find a list of these books in Appendix C.
