This 3-day course provides a detailed look at IPv6 and in particular how this will apply to telecommunications markets from the User Equipment up through the Service Providers networks and out into the internet. All the essential topics, such as IPv6’s new addressing and packet formats; the variety of ways that IP addresses can be allocated to devices and the relevant standards bodies are covered, however, we also look at the new IPv6 messages and ICMPv6 in particular, as well as investigating the numerous deployment options from Dual Stacking through tunnelling techniques and address translation methods. The course ends with a review of the deployment and transition states that IPv4 and IPv6 networks are likely to evolve. In today's rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape, the transition to IPv6 is becoming increasingly crucial. Our 3-day IPv6 Enabling the Internet of Things training course delves deep into the world of IPv6, exploring its applications in telecommunications markets from end-user devices to service provider networks and beyond. Covering essential topics such as IPv6 addressing, packet formats, allocation methods, and relevant standards bodies, this course also delves into advanced concepts like IPv6 messages and ICMPv6, as well as deployment options including Dual Stacking, tunnelling techniques, and address translation methods. Through a series of real-world examples and hands-on labs, delegates will gain practical experience in key techniques such as address translation, IPv6 tunnelling, and NAT64. This course is ideal for IP design, planning, and support specialists in the fixed or mobile telecommunications sector, including design, planning, and operations staff. A basic understanding of IPv4 and related protocols (TCP, UDP, etc.) is recommended as a prerequisite for this course. Don't miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and master the intricacies of IPv6 in today's interconnected world. Who would benefit Those people who specialise in IP design planning, implementation or support would benefit strongly from attending this course, including design, planning and operations staff. This course is aimed specifically at people working for fixed or mobile telecommunications. Prerequisites An understating of IPv4 and its related protocol ecosystem (TCP; UDP; etc.) would be of benefit. Topic Areas Include The need for IPv6 Packet structure IPv6 addressing Address assignment IPv6 functionality Transition and deployment Adoption and development IPv6 exercises
