IPv6 (Internet Protocol model 6) is the way forward for web telephony. And this ebook is your consultant to that future.

IPv6 is the alternative for the at the moment used IPv4 (Internet Protocol model 4). IPv6 will provide elevated IP addresses (full 128-bit addresses, in comparison to the 32-bit addresses of IPv4), more advantageous safeguard, and larger robustness. it's going to even be absolutely ''backwards appropriate” with current IPv4 platforms. those functions will eventually make web telephony a attainable competitor to traditional switched mobile networks. during this ebook, Dan Minoli sincerely explains IPv6 and the way cellphone networks might be equipped on its foundations.

This is not only one other IPv6 booklet; as a substitute, it makes a speciality of these facets of IPv6 appropriate to net telephony platforms and voice networks. Minoli makes use of a compare/contrast strategy, exploring the place IPv6 is the same to IPv4 and the place it differs, to allow you to speedy seize the essence of IPv6 and the similarities (and ameliorations) among present IPv4-based platforms and IPv6-based platforms.

If you'll be designing, imposing, or preserving the following iteration of web telephony structures, then you definately want the knowledge during this book!

*Explains the basic options of IPv6 and the way they relate to net telephony
*Describes how web telephony platforms utilizing IPv6 are varied from, and higher than, net telephony platforms according to the older IPv4 standard
*Discusses the best way to transition present IPv4 net telephony structures and standard switched structures to IPv6-based systems
*Extensive remedy of protection concerns, together with IP layer encryption and authentication methods
*Explains connection strategies, together with ''plug and play” techniques, for gear utilized in IPv6 structures

* the 1st name describing how the subsequent iteration web protocol-IPv6-can be used for web telephony
* Explains IPv6 because it applies to net telephony (VoIP)
* indicates how IPv6 supplies higher defense, QoS, and sign integrity in net telephony
