Purchase options and add-ons

If you’re ready to join the move to IPv6, this comprehensive guide gets you started by showing you how to create an effective IPv6 address plan. In three example-driven sections―preparation, design, and maintenance―you’ll learn principles and best practices for designing, deploying, and maintaining an address plan far beyond what’s possible with IPv4 networks.

During the course of the book, you’ll walk through the process of building a sample address plan for a fictional company. Enterprise IT network architects, engineers, and administrators will see firsthand how IPv6 provides opportunities for creating an operationally efficient plan that’s scalable, flexible, extensible, manageable, and durable.

  • Explore IPv6 addressing basics, including representation, structure, and types
  • Manage risks and costs by using a three-phase approach for deploying IPv6
  • Dig into IPv6 subnetting methods and learn how they differ from IPv4
  • Determine the appropriate size and type of the IPv6 allocation you require
  • Apply current network management tools to IPv6
  • Use IPv6 renumbering methods that enable greater network scale and easier integration
  • Implement policies and practices to keep IPv6 addresses reachable

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm a co-founder of HexaBuild, an IT consultancy specializing in the advancement of cloud, IoT, and security deployment best practices through IPv6 adoption.

Prior to co-founding HexaBuild, I was an IPv6 evangelist and architect at Infoblox as well as VP of network architecture at the global CDN Limelight Networks (where I helped lead their deployment of IPv6).

I'm also an activist working to support both the personal and public action critically needed to slow and eventually reverse climate breakdown. According to the 2018 UN IPCC report, we have until 2030 to reduce CO2 emissions to 45% below their 2010 levels to keep global average warming below 1.5C. I have stopped flying altogether to help communicate the seriousness of the issue.

Excellent reference for anyone tasked with deploying IPv6. Answers many important questions regarding IPv6 prefix allocations and helps the reader overcome some of the legacy IPv4 thinking when devising an IPv6 addressing strategy. Highly recommended reading!

Good book focused on getting away with legacy IP (IPv4) thinking, recommendations based on author's experience on a large ISP and some related IPv6 related technologies such as DNS, DHCP, dynamic routing, IPAM, etc...

It won't touch too much technical or how to do configurations as it would be a vendors guide, instead you get to learn how to proper plan address for sites on all sizes and how to decide what is a site to you (i.e. geographical region, country, worldwide), how to divide network addressing based on organisation needs or structure to be able to scale growth while allowing optimisation of prefix aggregation to keep manageable routing tables. You will get to hear a lot ditching legacy style allocation as this shouldn't be an issue in IPv6, and focus on nibble boundaries and network functions.

This is not a beginner's book on IPv6, but a reference to better plan and deploy once one has background information on how headers, ND and configuration works, but a very good complementary learning once you grasp the foundations of next generation IP.

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2017
Verified Purchase
I've been working in the ISP space for more than two decades and until recently, have been almost 100% IPv4 in both design and deployment. With the new startup I'm working with, IPv4 space is no longer an option as the cost per IP (via the auction houses) makes the acquisition of IPv4 space untenable. We started our IPv6 redesign for the growth of this ISP...

Stepping into the IPv6 space, it became apparent that almost NONE of the standards I knew in the IPv4 space applied here. How addresses were assigned, how to laid out your distribution, how your customers get space, etc. are completely different. This book was instrumental in understanding the *design* differences in how we wanted to distribute and deploy address space. Unfortunately it doesn't tie into ARIN/RIPE requirements but that's a little much to expect from a book designed for enterprises.

If you have any plans to deploy IPv6 space or plan on anything bigger than a /56, you need this book (if you don't know what a /56 is, you probably need this book).

I have not finished this book yet.
But, the author successfully show and explains
- how big the IPv6 address space (vs IPv4)
- why the current IPv4 address subnetting is completely irrelevant,
- why we should go back to the classful IPv4 era concept with IPv6 address.
And, I am sold to the author.
I like this book because it has very original contents.

I bought this book when I work on IPv6 support by our applications. This book teaches me how to plan the IP upgrade from IPv4 only to both of IPv4 and IPv6, even IPv6 only. It gives me all points I should focus on, including the upgrade steps. This book is very helpful when you want to plan support IPv6 by your software and networks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for Network Engineers and Architects looking to implement IPv6 on any scale.
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2015
Verified Purchase
Tom Coffeen does a great job of demystifying the IPv6 protocol, more importantly he explains the processes involved regarding obtaining network allocations from ARIN and other registreis for small to large enterprise organizations. Practical and industry best practice subnetting is explained along with complex subnetting for the "not so nervous". Highly recommended for any network engineer or architect looking towards implementing IPv6 on any scale. The book doesn't delve very deep into the mechanics of protocol 41, but is very much about network design, implementation and production management.
