IPv6 has been over-hyped, undersold and resurrected again for well over two years now. For an obscure networking protocol, it has caused an inordinate amount of fuss among those uber geeks who are mapping out how the new Internet will work. Why does IPv6 Matter? Frankly, because we're running out of Internet addresses. IPv6 is intended to fix the most difficult problems that the Internet faces today-scalability and management. Slowly but surely, support for IPv6 is making its way into software and hardware operating systems, with Cisco, Microsoft and Sun all adopting it as a standard.
Malone and Murphy's 'IPv6 Network Administration' takes an even-handed approach to educating network administrators about IPv6- what's practical when considering upgrading networks from the current version of the TCP/IP protocol to IPv6. Sooner or later, all network admins need to understand IPv6, and now is a good time to get started.
