Abstract

This chapter addresses how the transition to the IPv6 protocol is part of the upcoming network and communications upgrade for enabling a net-centric environment. We discuss limitations of current IPv4 protocol, features of the IPv6 protocol and discuss IPv6 network basics. We then discuss IPv6 support for net centricity, and the federal mandate for IPv6 transition. DoD has developed a set of IPv6 guidance that provides IPv6-capable definition, IPv6 base requirements and IPv6 product classes. We discuss transition strategies from IPv4 to IPv6 and long term strategy challenges such as security implications. We provide data can be secured using the IPSec protocol and we go ahead and provide a review of mobile IPv6 networking.
