IPv6 Implementation Decisions for an Organization

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the decision-making process for rolling out IPv6 in an organization today. The author walks the reader through a pragmatic operational approach to implementing IPv6 and securing it against common attacks. There is a brief technical overview explaining the various IPv6 mechanisms, but the overall intent is to highlight the various key decision points architects will face while implementing IPv6. The intent is not to take the reader down into the technical bowels of any given process, but rather to shine a light on the many topics of concern that management must consider when deploying IPv6.
