VoIP stands for voice over internet protocol. This is the
application of telephony via the internet. As this application
comes into its own so does the new and improved internet protocol
referred to as IPv6. The current protocol for the internet is IPv4.
The problem with IPv4 is that it does not have nearly enough space
for the growing population of cyberspace and is increasingly
unsecure. IPv6 gives far more unique addresses for users and is
much more secure and robust. Daniel Minoli discusses the
convergence of VoIP and IPv6 as they emerge as the next generation
of communication. This pairing of technology is referred to as
VoIPv6. This is the future of internet telephony, and it is this
relationship that the content of this book evolves around.
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
The first title describing how the next generation Internet
protocol-IPv6-can be used for Internet telephony
Explains IPv6 as it applies to Internet telephony (VoIP)
Shows how IPv6 gives better security, QoS, and signal integrity in
Internet telephony
"What I really liked about this book is that is has excellent complete coverage of VoIP itself and IPv6. You can use the book to learn these from scratch or just get a refresher. These subjects are mind numbingly complex with lots of eye-glazing detail. But the author does a good job of laying them out and explaining them in detail. Unlike some other books I have seen on the subject, he uses lots of diagrams and illustrations. We all love pictures. It is tougher to do graphics than to write more words so authors tend to avoid them. But as you know, you can get a good idea of the concepts faster from the drawings alone then dig into the text for more detail." - Electronic Design, Louis E. Frenzel, July 2006
