Overview
IPv6 is a protocol whose time has finally come. It is the protocol of choice for IP in 3G Mobile Telephony, as well as for the next generation of voice, video and data convergent networks.
The purpose of this course is to cover the IPv6 protocol as well as details of IPv4 to IPv6 migration and coexistence.
