Workshop
goals and contents
IPv6 provides
vastly expanded address space for Internet-connected
networks and will become the protocol version used by all
networked devices. Globally, IPv4 address space has
recently become depleted, and the coming years will see
significant activity as networks deploy IPv6 and related
solutions to ensure compatibility between IPv4 and IPv6
networks. Competency in IPv6 is a vital skill for today's
network professionals.
The Internet2 IPv6 workshop is an ideal opportunity to
gain hands-on experience with IPv6. It is recommended for
individuals responsible for designing and maintaining
organizational networks, and will provide engineers and
network managers the information they need to deploy and
support IPv6 within their campuses.
Over the course of the workshop attendees will design and
set up a functioning IPv6 network, which will be connected
to the global IPv6 network. The network will have both
external and internal routing configured. Using IPv6
transition tools, attendees will also gateway between the
workshop IPv6 network and the global IPv4 Internet. The
workshop will cover the IPv6 aspects of the following
topics:
- Router
Configuration
- BGP
Configuration
- Addressing
- BIND
configuration
- Application
Space
- Transition
Issues
After having
attended the workshop, attendees will be able to engineer
IPv6 networks within their organizations, explain IPv6
engineering concepts to peers, and help teach or
facilitate future IPv6 workshops.
