IPv6 - ugh ...

... Does anyone know a good book or CBT which covers IPv6 which also makes sure it is easily digestible?
We bought a few books but most require already some knowledge so most of it reads as if it is Chinese

The best book I've seen on IPv6 so far is Understanding IPv6, Second Edition. It covers everything in detail and doesn't assume prior knowledge of IPv6, but having working knowledge of IPv4 helps a great deal. As for CBTs, the ones for Cisco certs, (CCNA and CCNP in particular,) have been very good.

Would you recommend this book from a pure networking aspect?BS - Information Technology; AAS - Electro-Mechanical Engineering -

Thanks to Jeremy @ packetlife.net for digging this upCisco was my first networking love, but my "other" router is a Mikrotik... -

While there are several chapters dedicated to IPv6 on Windows Vista/7 and Server 2008, the book has more than enough material covering the general theory and practice of implementing IPv6 for any sysadmin or network engineer to be able to absorb it. Most chapters are on IPv6 in general, going over the header(s) and addressing, for example.

I just finished watching the 70-642 Nugget on IPv6. I thought It was interesting, especially the info about link local and unique local.A.A.S. in Networking Technologies

If you haven't already then you should get IPv6 connectivity at home. This will probably mean tunneled IPv6 to somebody like HE tunnelbroker or native if you're lucky enough to have an ISP that does it. Tunnelbroker has some IPv6 badge certification thing going on at the moment and it'll give you some tests and tasks to do.
The next step would be to actually have IPv6 on your entire network but that relies on your router supporting that. You'll see how stupid it is regarding autoassignment of an IPv6 prefix to a CPE is at the moment
None of this is particularly complicated but you'll see how IPv6 RAs work, the role of DHCPv6, why IPV6CP needs to be used and updated, link local, Teredo etc...
