I also want to thank the technical editors who have made this book much better with their invaluable comments, corrections, and clarifications.

The technical reviewers were Patrick Grossetete, who works as a product manager for the Internet Technology Division (ITD) at Cisco, and Neil Cashell, who is a great TCP/IP guy at Novell. He works for the worldwide connectivity support team. Last but not least, thanks to Brian McGehee from Native6Group, who has been working with IPv6 for over two years and has written numerous courses for IPv6. He did the final technical edits and added a lot of useful information to this book. I want to thank Axept AG, a professional Swiss integrator who sponsored ...
