Andrew Daviel: IPv6 Networking
The Internet Protocol, version 6 (IPv6), is designed as a replacement
for the familiar version 4. I will talk about the basic addressing
concepts,and show some common tools (ping, traceroute, Wireshark)
running on an IPv6 network. While IPv6 is largely transparent to the
end user, there are significant implications for network
administrators, security managers, and application programmers.
