IP’s Impact on Cable Networks hands-on course provides all the details on the capabilities of IP and the role it plays in the cable network. In addition, the course covers the rollout aspects of IPv6 implementation, including configuration, provisioning, and troubleshooting of the network components.
Course goals also include an in-depth discussion surrounding operating IPv6 in tandem with IPv4. The course thoroughly covers the operational issues involved in configuring and managing parallel IP addressing systems. The breadth and depth of the course will be beneficial for those responsible for integrating the IPv6 protocol.
Finally, participants will learn transitioning options such as 6RD, native dual-stack, DS-lite, NAT444, tunneling, etc. Other topics include IPSec, header extensions, DHCP/DNSv6, ICMPv6, IPv6 multicasting, and the features of the IPv6 header.
