The definitive guide to IPv6 decision making for non-technical business
leaders
Every year, organizations rely on Internet applications and services more
deeplyand every year, Internet infrastructure grows more powerful and complex.
As the limitations of traditional IPv4 addressing become increasingly apparent,
many decision makers recognize that a transition to IPv6 is needed far sooner
than anticipated. Global IPv6 Strategies gives non-technical decision
makers the information to plan and execute an orderly, efficient migration to
IPv6and reap the business benefits.
This books authors offer practical scenarios, proven best practices, and
real-world case studies drawn from their unsurpassed experience helping
enterprises and service providers move to IPv6. Writing for non-technical
decision makers, they systematically review the costs, benefits, impacts, and
opportunities associated with IPv6 migration. Their insights and strategies can
help you address both the technical side of IPv6 and the rarely discussed
organizational issues that can make or break your transition.
Patrick Grossetete, manager of Product Management at Cisco®, is responsible
for key Cisco IOS® software technologies including IPv6 and IP Mobility. A
member of the IPv6 Forum Technical Directorate, he has been honored with the
IPv6 Forum Internet Pioneer Award.
Ciprian P. Popoviciu, PhD, CCIE® No. 4499, technical leader at Cisco,
focuses on architecting, designing, and testing large IPv6 network deployments
for service providers and enterprises worldwide. Grossetete and Popoviciu
co-authored Deploying IPv6 Networks (Cisco Press).
Fred Wettling manages architecture and strategic planning for Bechtel.
Wettling is a member of the IEEE, North American IPv6 Task Force, and IPv6
Forum; directs the IPv6 Business Council; chaired the Network Applications
Consortium (NAC); and served on the Presidents National Security
Telecommunications Advisory Committee Next Generation Network Task Force.
