IPv6 Information

I’ve been speaking, writing and talking about IPv6 a lot lately. One of the questions I get a lot is “Where can I find out more about IPv6”. There are many good books you can buy but there are also some great sources that are freely available on the Internet. To start with the IPv6 article on Wikipedia is very informative. There is also a great article over at Ars Technica called “Everything you need to know about IPv6”. This article gives great background and is a quick read. If you want more details about specific issues you can check our ARIN’s IPv6 Wiki. It contains a lot of information contributed by members of the ARIN community. Many of these people run ISPs or other large networks. Their real world experience is reflected in the content on this website. Last but not least there are the RFCs that define various aspects of the IPv6 protocol. There are many RFCs related to IPv6. An incomplete list can be found here. It is missing many newer IPv6 RFCs though. For those, probably the best place to go is straight to the source at the IETF.
