Description This course will provide details on the capabilities of IPv6 and DOCSIS® 3.0 as well as the roles they play in the cable network management processes, the rollout aspects of phase 1 for IPv6 implementation, DOCSIS 3.0 integration, configuration, provisioning and troubleshooting the network components and the impact on the cable networks. An in-depth discussion surrounding how to operate IPv6 in tandem with IPv4 as well as the operational issues involved in configuring and managing parallel IP addressing systems is thoroughly covered in this course. The breadth and depth of the course will be beneficial for those responsible for integrating the IPv6 protocol.
Audience: Those involved in engineering the adoption of IPv6, including network planners designing the deployment of IPv6 devices such as DOCSIS® cable modems in the network, network operations managers and data center personnel, as well as systems engineering staff responsible for preparing the multitude of systems to support IPv6
