Book Review: IPv6 Network Administration
Peter Salus
IPv6 was intended to be a quick fix where the depletion of IPv4 address space was concerned (I've written about the history in my Big Book of IPv6 Addressing RFCs [2000]). But several developments intervened: CIDR, NATs, and RFC 1918 being the most significant.
But, over the years, as the IETF committees toiled, the pressure of needing address space waned, and other things took on importance: VPNs and security are examples of this. And it has become quite clear that while network administration has always been more than just a piece of cake, expanding to 128-bit addressing together with filtering, firewalls, and the realization that IPv6 means IPv4 plus IPv6 will not make things simpler. (One can only envy those who had to deal with 5, 6, or 8-bit addressing 30-35 years ago.)
IPv6 should yield more efficient routing, autoconfiguration, end-to-end security, generally superior QoS, and solid (rather than jury-rigged) features for mobile networking.
