IPv6 (Internet Protocol model 6) is the way forward for web telephony. And this booklet is your advisor to that destiny. IPv6 is the substitute for the at present 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), superior safeguard, and bigger robustness. it's going to even be totally "backwards suitable" with current IPv4 platforms. those features will eventually make web telephony a manageable competitor to traditional switched mobilephone networks. during this publication, Dan Minoli truly explains IPv6 and the way mobilephone networks might be equipped on its foundations. this isn't simply one other IPv6 e-book; in its place, it makes a speciality of these features of IPv6 suitable to net telephony platforms and voice networks. Minoli makes use of a compare/contrast procedure, exploring the place IPv6 is identical to IPv4 and the place it differs, to allow you to quick clutch the essence of IPv6 and the similarities (and modifications) among present IPv4-based structures and IPv6-based structures. if you happen to could be designing, imposing, or holding the following new release of web telephony platforms, then you definitely want the data during this e-book! *Explains the fundamental options of IPv6 and the way they relate to net telephony *Describes how net telephony platforms utilizing IPv6 are varied from, and higher than, net telephony platforms in keeping with the older IPv4 commonplace *Discusses find out how to transition current IPv4 net telephony platforms and traditional switched platforms to IPv6-based platforms *Extensive remedy of protection matters, together with IP layer encryption and authentication tools *Explains connection ideas, together with "plug and play" methods, for apparatus utilized in IPv6 platforms * the 1st identify describing how the subsequent iteration net protocol-IPv6-can be used for web telephony * Explains IPv6 because it applies to web telephony (VoIP) * exhibits how IPv6 supplies higher safety, QoS, and sign integrity in net telephony
