Advanced IPv6

Expand all

Course Description

Pv6 touches many parts of a network. IPv6 has left the "early implementers" state and is going mainstream. Today, the amount of IPv6 traffic in the Internet doubles every 9 month, and it is expected that 50% of all traffic in the Internet will be IPv6 by 2018.

IPv6 has much more benefits than a larger address space: simpler network planning and management, new applications, leaner networks.

This Advanced IPv6 training course is designed for people that have already have some IPv6 experience and knowledge, but want to dive deeper into the details IPv6 brings to network design and management. This training is being updated for every scheduled training with the latest RFCs and news from the IETF and vendor.
