IPv6
Ipv4 compared with IPv6, it has improved address space, higher quality of service and better data security.
IPv6 is not the next 10-20 years before the possible implementation of the agreement, by 2010, it is very likely to become you have to have to face reality. However, the implementation of IPv6 we need a detailed plan to achieve real success, but also need to follow some basic principles.
First and foremost is the need to control costs. One can imagine that does not mean that the switch to IPv6 entirely Elimination of existing networks and new network completely instead. If you have been updating their products, and now a large number of equipment has to meet the needs of IPv6. You particularly close to check whether they support IPv6 need to pay attention to when the two products: network management and security. Your plan for the future envisaged in the more long-term, the more we can greatly reduce IPv6 implementation costs.
To conduct a feasibility study: IPv6 is not a goal, but at the issue of a potential solution. You need to ask ourselves: I was trying to resolve the question? By confirming the answer to this question, you will be able to clearly understand the following three parties: you want to go where, why do you want to go there, in the way to solve the problem of What you may be facing challenges.
Mo as the implementation of conversion: we are talking about implementation. Conversion means that you use a technique in place of another technology, and the implementation of a technology means that you will add to already have the technology. In most cases, this is what you do with IPv6: to add it to your network, rather than the replacement of IPv4. As a result, IPv4 and IPv6 network in your co-exist.
Inventory "inventory": In order to understand the implementation of IPv6 which should be changed, you must make it clear what has to understand that the only way is to carry out detailed investigation of the list of products. A simple "supports IPv6" check box is not enough; from the feasibility study should support you already know what IPv6 features, your inventory list should reflect this aspect.
Important not to lose sight of the tests: either as part of a plan to implement IPv6 or another technology as part of the experiment set up a test environment for the new technology into your network are very important. Even if your organization has a small network, or your network from a service provider to manage should do the same. You should explain to upper management: testing laboratories, how to reduce operating costs, how to reduce risk and increase network network uptime and availability in order to gain their support.
Set up the progress of signs and Methods: a feasibility study in terms of equipment, product inventory and testing of the environmental assessment results, you can create accurate cost model and set a realistic and detailed implementation of the project framework.
Started training: You should plan to rely on your understanding of IPv4 to IPv6 understanding to the same level. Here a piece of good news: Because you have to understand IPv4, the rapid implementation of IPv6 is not difficult. Straddles two or three years or even longer training program can save money for you. However, as the overall IPv6 implementation plan, you now need to begin your training program.
No doubt, IPv6 implementation must be forward-looking and planning and the need in an orderly manner.
