This course reviews IPv6 and takes the student to the next levels of designing and deploying IPv6 networks based on the current standards and practices. IPv6 is the new Internet Protocol specification and implementation that uses 128 bit addressing where IPv4 uses 32 bits. This presents many new areas of expertise for network designers and administrators to learn and experience. The IP6FD course has in-depth coverage of IPv6 design and deployment for DNS, DHCP, integrating IPv6 in an IPv4 network, and Multicast.
• Recite the factors that drive the creation of a new IP structure and its possible usages
• Fundamentally explain the operation of IPv6

• Implement IPv6 services and applications
• Evaluate a given scenario and desired outcome and identify the best transition mechanism for the situation
• Identify and illustrate IPv6 security threats and design practices respectively
• Describe the differences between Mobile IPv4 and Mobile IPv6
• Discuss several IPv6 deployment concerns
