Learning IPv6?

Posted by Cliff on from the picking-up-a-new-skill dept.

fsckme asks: "With IPv6 starting to filter its was into the internet I thought that it was about time to learn it. However digging around I've found sites like www.ipv6.org and the IPv6 FAQ but I haven't found a tutorial teaching the basics. Can anyone recommend a nice web based tutorial of even a decent book?"

  1. I'd like a tutorial on by redcliffe · · Score: 5, Insightful

    turning your windows, mac and linux combination network from IPv4 to v6. I've seen a lot of articles that cover part of it, but I'd like a step by step on the whole process. Thanks,

  2. I have the same problem by Economist · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When i look at the output of ifconfig, i notice my network cards have IPv6 addresses like fe80::248:54ff:fe6e:f6c2/10. Now, that makes me wonder, where did it get that address from (i've never said to use that address) and what's with the /10 in the back? I thought i read that /x means the same on IPv6 than it did on IPv4. I'm confused....

    So if anybody finds me a site wich explains such things in an easy to understand manner, i would be delighted.
