IPv6 for Enterprise Networks The practical guide to
deploying IPv6 in campus, WAN/branch, data center, and
virtualized environments Shannon McFarland, CCIE(R) No.
5245 Muninder Sambi, CCIE No. 13915 Nikhil Sharma, CCIE
No. 21273 Sanjay Hooda, CCIE No. 11737 IPv6 for
Enterprise Networks brings together all the information
you need to successfully deploy IPv6 in any campus,
WAN/branch, data center, or virtualized environment.
Four leading Cisco IPv6 experts present a practical
approach to organizing and executing your large-scale
IPv6 implementation. They show how IPv6 affects existing
network designs, describe common IPv4/IPv6 coexistence
mechanisms, guide you in planning, and present validated
configuration examples for building labs, pilots, and
production networks. The authors first review some of
the drivers behind the acceleration of IPv6 deployment
in the enterprise. Next, they introduce powerful new
IPv6 services for routing, QoS, multicast, and
management, comparing them with familiar IPv4 features
and behavior. Finally, they translate IPv6 concepts into
usable configurations.Up-to-date and practical, IPv6 for
Enterprise Networks is an indispensable resource for
every network engineer, architect, manager, and
consultant who must evaluate, plan, migrate to, or
manage IPv6 networks. Shannon McFarland, CCIE No. 5245,
is a Corporate Consulting Engineer for Cisco serving as
a technical consultant for enterprise IPv6 deployment
and data center design with a focus on application
deployment and virtual desktop infrastructure. For more
than 16 years, he has worked on large-scale enterprise
campus, WAN/branch, and data center network design and
optimization. For more than a decade, he has spoken at
IPv6 events worldwide, including Cisco Live. Muninder
Sambi, CCIE No. 13915, is a Product Line Manager for
Cisco Catalyst 4500/4900 series platform, is a core
member of the Cisco IPv6 development council, and a key
participant in IETF's IPv6 areas of focus. Nikhil
Sharma, CCIE No. 21273, is a Technical Marketing
Engineer at Cisco Systems where he is responsible for
defining new features for both hardware and software for
the Catalyst 4500 product line. Sanjay Hooda, CCIE
No.11737, a Technical Leader at Cisco, works with
embedded systems, and helps to define new product
architectures. His current areas of focus include high
availability and messaging in large-scale distributed
switching systems. n Identify how IPv6 affects
