Almost every conversation I have with folks just learning about IPv6 goes about the same way; once I’m finally able to convince them that IPv6 is not going away and is needed in their network, the ...

Have you learned to think and dream in hex yet? That is what you are going to have to look forward to as we transition to using IPv6. Because we will be working in hexadecimal numbers we may need a ...

Subnetting is a fundamental part of network architecture and design. Network administrators create subnets to divide the network into smaller segments and gain granular control of the infrastructure.

Syngress Media, Inc., the author(s), and any person or firm involved in the writing, editing, or production (collectively "Makers") of this book ("the Work") do not guarantee or warrant the results to ...

There are a few culprits that regularly contribute to delayed or failed IPv6 deployment projects, such as poor DNS planning, insufficient testing, unanticipated application behavior, and poor IPv6 ...

In this chapter, you will learn about the addressing used in IPv4 and IPv6. We'll assign addresses of both types to various interfaces on the hosts and routers of the Illustrated Network. We'll ...

This excerpt of a paper published by IEEE discusses how recent developments make it possible, pragmatic, and efficient to use the IPv6 protocol for low-power multihop wireless networks. Figure 1: ...

Subnetting is one of the most important parts of networking in both on-premises and cloud networks. Subnets in cloud networks are similar to those in on-premises networks, but cloud subnet ...

Like it or lump it, you're going to need to add IPv6 to your network. Here's how to start. Some people still think they don’t need to worry about the growing shortage of Internet IPv4 addresses and ...

Today, the standard methods for moving the network/host address boundary are variable-length subnet masking (VLSM) for host addressing and routing inside a routing domain, and classless interdomain ...
