Your essential guide to deploying IPv6 on Windows® networks
Get in-depth technical information to put IPv6 technology to work—including networks with hardware running Windows 8 and Windows Server® 2012. Written by a networking expert, this reference explains IPv6 features and benefits, and provides detailed information to help you implement this protocol. You’ll learn best practices for using IPv6 services in your Windows network, whether you’re an IT professional, a network administrator, or an IT student.
Discover how to:
- Use Windows features and tools to implement IPv6 on your network
- Set up a test lab to experiment with IPv6 configuration and functionality
- Understand dynamic routing and the IPv6 routing protocols
- Use IPv6 transition technologies to support both IPv4 and IPv6 during deployment
- Implement IPv6 security features and measures
- Deploy native IPv6 connectivity to an IPv4-only intranet
- Apply best practices from the Microsoft corporate network case study
- Test your understanding of IPv6 concepts with end-of-chapter quizzes
manage, troubleshoot, and test for IPv6 is going to take time. This book is a great resource to prepare you for this new technology and the capabilities it offers. I hope you find it helpful in your quest to enable us all to realize seamless applications.

Additionally, payload identification that uses a TCP or UDP port is not possible when the IPv4 packet payload is encrypted. To address these and other concerns, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has developed a suite of protocols and standards known as IP version 6 (IPv6). This new version, previously called IP-The Next Generation (IPng), incorporates the concepts of many proposed methods for updating the IPv4 protocol. IPv6 is designed intentionally to have minimal impact on upper- and
Transport layer Contains the implementations of TCP and UDP. ■ Network layer Contains implementations of both IPv4 and IPv6. ■ Framing layer Contains modules that frame IPv4 or IPv6 packets. Modules exist for IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet), IEEE 802.11, and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) links. Modules also exist for logical interfaces such as the loopback interface and IPv4-based tunnels. IPv4-based tunnels are commonly used for IPv6 transition technologies. The IPv4 Internet layer appears as the

and antireplay protection (assurance that captured packets cannot be retransmitted and accepted as valid data) for the IPv6 packet including the fields in the IPv6 header that do not change in transit across an IPv6 internetwork. The Authentication header, described in RFC 2402, is part of the security architecture for IP, as defined in RFC 2401. The Authentication header is identified by the value of 51 in the previous header’s Next Header field. Figure 4-18 shows the structure of the
