The official press release is out and we are glad about the overwhelming response for the upcoming educational webinar series. Do keep the word spreading and get the full benefit of this educational webinar series.

1. Why is IPv6 said to be challenging?

IPv6 addressing is more than just a broader address space. the IP address has changed from 32 bits to 128 bits but what is more important is that address planning, the kinds of addresses, and how DHCP and DNS are to be used and configured have all been changed. New concepts and protocols such as Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), Neighbor Discovery, Router Discovery, and Multicast Listener Discovery protocols must be understood. Many new ICMP messages have been introduced leading to changes in how firewalls policies are to be done.
