Training
David Freedman of Claranet talks about the importance of end user education in deploying IPv6 in your network.
There are many IPv6 training course options available, from online education to face-to-face training.
The IPv6 Act Now website features:
- Links to various online sources of information about IPv6
- A list of expert consultants specialising in IPv6 deployment
If your organisation is a member of the RIPE NCC, your staff can attend the RIPE NCC’s IPv6 Training Course for free. This course provides information on how to obtain IPv6 addresses and how to prepare your deployment plan. The course is open to all members and is free of charge.
At the more technical end of the scale, there are several RFC documents maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that include case studies for IPv6 deployment under various business models:
- RFC 5375: IPv6 Unicast Address Asssignment Considerations
Aims to provide the information and recommendations relevant to planning the addressing aspects of IPv6 deployments. The document also provides IPv6 addressing case studies for both an enterprise and an ISP network.
