IPv6 Advanced Protocols Implementation

IPv6 Advanced Protocols Implementation is the second installment of a two-volume series on IPv6 and the KAME implementation. This book discusses those protocols that are found in more capable IPv6 devices, are commonly deployed in more complex IPv6 network environments, or are not specific to IPv6 but are extended to support IPv6. Specifically, this book engages the readers in advanced topics such as routing, multicasting, DNS, DHCPv6, mobility, and security.

This two-volume series covers a wide spectrum of the IPv6 technology, help the readers establish solid and empirical understanding on IPv6 and the KAME reference implementation paralleled by none.

Key Features:

• Extensive code listings with meticulous line-by-line explanation of rationale and use for KAME snapshot implementations on advanced IPv6 related protocols, including:
• Unicast and multicast routing and DNS client based on KAME snapshot dated April 2003, which are a base of more recent versions of BSD variants
• Mobile IPv6 based on KAME snapshot dated July 2004, a predecessor version of the "SHISA" implementation
• DHCPv6 based on KAME snapshot dated May 2005, a base of the WIDE-DHCPv6 implementation available at SourceForge today
• Numerous diagrams and illustrations help in visualizing the implementation
• In-depth discussion of the standards provides intrinsic understanding of the specifications
• An introduction to the IP security protocols along with the use of the racoon key exchange daemon
• Two CD-ROMs filled with the complete KAME IPv6 protocol stack and FreeBSD software

• The only authoritative reference "cookbook" for anyone interested in advanced IPv6 topics and protocols
• Line-by-line walk through of real code helps the reader master IPv6 implementation
• Comprehensive in scope, based on a working standard, and thoroughly illustrated to bring the protocols alive

Tatuya Jinmei Ph.D. is a senior software architect at Internet
Systems Consortium, Inc. He had been a core developer of the KAME project since the launch of the project through its conclusion. In 2003, he received the Ph.D. degree from Keio University, Japan, based on his work at KAME.

Keiichi Shima is a senior researcher at Internet Initiative Japan Inc. He was a core developer of the KAME project from 2001 to the end of the project and developed Mobile IPv6/NEMO Basic Support protocol stack. He is now working on the new mobility stack (the SHISA stack) for BSD operating systems.
