Description
This book is the second installment of a two-volume series on IPv6 and the KAME implementation. This book discusses those protocols that
are found in more capable IPv6 devices, are commonly deployed in more complex IPv6 network environments, or are not specific to IPv6
but are extended to support IPv6. Specifically, this book engages the readers in advanced topics such as routing, multicasting, DNS,
DHCPv6, mobility, and security.
This two-volume series covers a wide spectrum of the IPv6 technology, help the readers establish solid
and empirical understanding on IPv6 and the KAME reference implementation paralleled by none.
Key Features:
* Extensive code listings
with meticulous line-by-line explanation of rationale and use for KAME snapshot implementations on advanced IPv6 related protocols, including:
-Unicast and multicast routing and DNS client based on KAME snapshot dated April 2003, which are a base of more recent versions of BSD
variants
-Mobile IPv6 based on KAME snapshot dated July 2004, a predecessor version of the "SHISA" implementation
-DHCPv6 based on
KAME snapshot dated May 2005, a base of the WIDE-DHCPv6 implementation available at SourceForge today
* Numerous diagrams and illustrations
help in visualizing the implementation
* In-depth discussion of the standards provides intrinsic understanding of the specifications
* An introduction to the IP security protocols along with the use of the racoon key exchange daemon
* Two CD-ROMs filled with the complete
KAME IPv6 protocol stack and FreeBSD software
Included in series
The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking
Audience:
Software engineers; network operators and designers; IP industry researchers and developers.
