William F. ClevelandTS5990 Integrative ProjectCapella UniversityInstructor: Dr. Sharon GagnonMarch 8, 2009
Abstract
The Project is written to answer the question of why the conversion of IPv4 to IPv6 isimportant from both a general and specifically security reasons. Two of the major reasons arebecause of the increase in devices that can access the Internet and improvements in security.Other reasons will be brought to the attention of the target audience.The guide is written toward the basic networking administrator and gives reason whythey should embrace IPv6 more quickly. It will not cover the how to implement IPv6, other than to explain what software and hardware devices support IPv6 already and those that arequickly adapting the protocol.The project is written to expand the author's experience and to provide a guide to thetarget audience. The topic must be explained in a matter that instructs the user and exploresthe topic thoroughly so no doubt may be left as to the importance of converting and upgradingto IPv6 for TCP/IP communications.
