ipv6 text suggestions?

Forsaken_GA

Well, I'm going to do something rare and ask a question myself!

I've been tasked with setting up a testbed for ip6 so we can start offering it to our customers, and assuming the initial testing goes well, to set up a migration path to deploy dual stack throughout the network and onto our managed servers. We already have our allocation and active peering sessions established with comcast and hurricane electric.

I know ip6 has been going under something of an evoluion the last few years, and I suspect that the content of the texts I have is dated. I'm looking for a fairly comprehensive text on ip6 to get myself up to speed, and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. I'm eyeing the following:

Amazon.com: Deploying IPv6 Networks (9781587052101): Ciprian Popoviciu, Eric Levy-Abegnoli, Patrick Grossetete: Books

So I would appreciate any opinions of anyone who's read the above text, as well as any other recommendations.

I cant speak much on the topic man, since I have only really studied it for applicable exams, but I used 6net.org for alot of information. Its a Euro project, but the information remains the same. They have an IPv6 deployment guide out there somewhere as well. Again, havent read it, but judging from the information on their site it might be worth a read...and you cant beat the price. http://www.6net.org/book/deployment-guide.pdf

Good luck on the project. Let us know how it goes.

I hate to resurrect a thread, but hows the testbed going for you?

No idea, management and I had a few differences of opinion, and I changed jobs shortly after I posted this.

Now I'm fighting the battle with my new management to get them to even consider IP6
