Voice Over IPv6: Architectures for Next Generation VoIP Networks
內容描述
Description
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the future of
internet telephony. And this book is your guide to that future. IPv6 is the
replacement for the currently used IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4). IPv6
will offer increased IP addresses (full 128-bit addresses, compared to the
32-bit addresses of IPv4), enhanced security, and greater robustness. It will
also be fully ?backwards compatible? with existing IPv4 systems. These
capabilities will finally make internet telephony a viable competitor to
conventional switched telephone networks. In this book, Dan Minoli clearly
explains IPv6 and how telephone networks can be built on its foundations. This
is not just another IPv6 book; instead, it focuses on those aspects of IPv6
relevant to internet telephony systems and voice networks. Minoli uses a
compare/contrast approach, exploring where IPv6 is similar to IPv4 and where
it differs, to let you quickly grasp the essence of IPv6 and the similarities
(and differences) between current IPv4-based systems and IPv6-based systems.
If you will be designing, implementing, or maintaining the next generation of
internet telephony systems, then you need the information in this book!
Explains the essential concepts of IPv6 and how they relate to internet
telephony Describes how internet telephony systems using IPv6 are different
from?and better than?internet telephony systems based on the older IPv4
standard Discusses how to transition existing IPv4 internet telephony systems
and conventional switched systems to IPv6-based systems Extensive treatment
of security issues, including IP layer encryption and authentication methods
*Explains connection techniques?including ?plug and play? approaches?for
equipment used in IPv6 systems
