4.0 out of 5 stars
good overall review
IPv6 is still going thru some changes. While the book is not as up to date as I would like it to be, it does a pretty good job of explaining what is (was) different from IPv4 and the why of it. As for comparisons to IPv4, they can be found throughout different sections of the book, tho not in detail. Overall, a good guide to IPng w/ good explainations.

2.0 out of 5 stars
quite outdated
OK intro for technical readers, but there is a lot here that is completely out of date since the book was written in 1997. Lots of new and revised standards have been published since then.

A good book, though out of date.,

This review is from: IPv6: The New Internet Protocol (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This is a good book written by someone who really knows the material.The book *is* somewhat out of date - a three years old book on a developing protocol cant be current [and it's my expectation that a new edition would be printed soon], but it's a very good way to get the big picture about it before starting to read the fine details in the RFCs. As other reviewers wrote, the comparison between IPv4 and IPv6 is a little lacking, but this book is *not* intended to be read as one's first text on IP - it's audience is people who are already familiar with IPv4.

The book is full of explaination about headers,

This review is from: IPv6: The New Internet Protocol (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
The book really lacks in illustrative examples. An endless list of headers & explaination for the same is given. As the old adage goes "A picture is worth a 1000 words", I really could not find a single proper example, nor a comparitive example relating it to IPv4.

If you're technical enough to read the RPCs, there's no reason to shell out for this book.

Best pick for my final year thesis report.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ipv6 : The New Internet Protocol (Paperback)
As soon as I saw on a TV show that Internet protocol was planned to be replaced for some reason, and a new Internet protocol is designed, I decided to go after its details.
Now IPv6 is the subject of my final year thesis report for computer systems engineering, and this book was the pick for me.
