Overview
The introduction of IPv6 is the next major step in the evolution of the internet. This workshop is a unique opportunity for network and systems analysts, engineers, designers, and operators to learn about IPv6, gain hands-on experience, and to prepare themselves for the evaluation of IPv6 equipment and services at the forefront of its introduction into the global marketplace.
Every major vendor of network or systems equipment is now shipping or will soon ship IPv6-capable equipment, and the use of IPv6 is expected to skyrocket with the introduction of next-generation host software by Microsoft and others. The market for IPv6-savvy network and systems personnel will be expanding greatly over the next several years—it's expected that everyone who works with an IPv4 network will need to begin building their foundation for IPv6 knowledge today.
Intended Audience
The intended audience is network and systems personnel with experience in designing or operating IPv4 networks. IPv6 will touch nearly every network scenario, from enterprise and Internet service environments through small office and home scenarios, and it cuts across all disciplines from architecture through management.
Prerequisite Knowledge Required
The participant must be familiar with current IPv4 networking concepts and protocols such as ARP, ICMP, IGMP, DHCP, DNS, RIP, OSPF, and BGP. Hexadecimal numbering systems will be discussed unabashedly, and the ability to perform moderate decimal-to-hex and hex-to-binary translations will be helpful. No prior knowledge of IPv6 concepts or protocols will be assumed.
Learning Outcomes
The workshop will enable participants to understand and discuss the mechanisms and concepts of the IPv6 protocol suite, and to understand the ramifications that IPv6 may have in their own networked environment. At the end of the workshop, the participant will know:
- What "IPv6" means, its brief history, and its comparison to existing network protocols
- Basic operation of IPv6 protocols, focusing on ICMPv6
- Methods for enabling IPv6 within an IPv4 network environment
- Concepts for dual stack network environments
- The appropriate use of various host-based automatic tunneling mechanisms
- IPv6 design scenarios
- How and where to obtain specific further information on IPv6 support for network vendors, suppliers, and service providers
Time, Location and Cost
The workshop will be held in UWEO's Bellevue computer lab on 2 consecutive Saturdays, February 2 and 9, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., with an hour for lunch. Optional lab sessions will be held 4-5 p.m. on both days. Participants will earn 1.2 CEUs.
Cost of the workshop is $469.
Instructor
Chris Engdahl
Engdahl has been researching, designing, building, and operating networks for the Microsoft global enterprise environment for over ten years. His current professional interests are enterprise-scale IPv6 networks, integrated high capacity core networks, and the interplay between host and network security models.
