IPv6 (Internet Protocol model 6) is the way forward for net telephony. And this publication 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 desirable safeguard, and bigger robustness. it's going to even be totally “backwards suitable” with current IPv4 structures. those functions will eventually make net telephony a plausible competitor to traditional switched cellphone networks. during this booklet, Dan Minoli essentially explains IPv6 and the way mobilephone networks could be equipped on its foundations.

This isn't just one other IPv6 ebook; in its place, it specializes in these points of IPv6 proper to web telephony structures and voice networks. Minoli makes use of a compare/contrast strategy, exploring the place IPv6 is identical to IPv4 and the place it differs, to allow you to fast seize the essence of IPv6 and the similarities (and alterations) among present IPv4-based structures and IPv6-based platforms.

If you can be designing, imposing, or retaining the following new release of web telephony structures, then you definitely want the data during this book!

*Explains the fundamental innovations of IPv6 and the way they relate to web telephony
*Describes how web telephony structures utilizing IPv6 are varied from, and higher than, web telephony structures according to the older IPv4 standard
*Discusses how one can transition current IPv4 net telephony platforms and standard switched platforms to IPv6-based systems
*Extensive remedy of safety concerns, together with IP layer encryption and authentication methods
*Explains connection suggestions, together with “plug and play” techniques, for apparatus utilized in IPv6 systems

* the 1st name describing how the following new release web protocol—IPv6—can be used for web telephony
* Explains IPv6 because it applies to web telephony (VoIP)
* exhibits how IPv6 offers higher safeguard, QoS, and sign integrity in web telephony
