IPv6 WorkshopLearn to Set Up an IPv6 NetworkMerit is pleased to sponsor the Internet2 IPv6 workshop, developed and regularly presented by Internet2's IPv6 working group. This hands-on workshop will be held at Merit's offices in Ann Arbor on November 11-13, 2009. The workshop will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11 and conclude at noon on Friday, Nov. 13.Register for WorkshopAbout the Workshop: Over the course of this workshop we will design and set up a functioning IPv6 network. This network will be connected to the Internet2 IPv6 network, and thus to the rest of the global IPv6 network. We will have both external and internal routing configured. Using IPv6 transition tools, we will also gateway between the workshop IPv6 network and the global IPv4 internet. It is our expectation that, after having experienced one workshop as a student, an attendee will be able to engineer IPv6 networks within his/her campus or gigaPoP, to explain IPv6 engineering concepts to peers, and, in some cases, to help teach or facilitate future IPv6 workshops. In detail, the topics we will cover at this workshop are:
The principal qualification for attendees is that they recognize the need for deployment and integration of IPv6 at their home institutions. The workshop is recommended for individuals responsible for setting up and maintaining networks on a campus or for an organization. What to bring Students are asked to bring a laptop capable of running an IPv6 stack. We prefer that these stacks be installed prior to the workshop, but help will be available at the workshop if that is not possible. Laptops should also have an integrated serial port or a USB-to-serial adapter for accessing router console ports. Recommended text We recommend that attendees consider reading Marc Blanchet's Migrating to IPv6: A Practical Guide for Mobile and Fixed Networks. The book is a comprehensive overview of IPv6 and related protocols, with practical techniques and advice on implementation, applications and deployment. You can read more about the book at http://www.ipv6book.ca/ Details and registration The workshop will run from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11; 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12; and 8:00 a.m. to noon on Friday, Nov. 13.
