I've been in security for over 10 years and hadn't had to deal much with IPv6 issues until I got a new job at a government facility. That was it, there was just too much going on and too many things that were critical. This book helped make sense of it and helped me understand how many new security issues there are with IPv6 deployments, and especially IPv6 deployments that are co-mingled with either internal or external IPv4 deployments. This is the kind of book that allows the security professional and the network engineer to come to terms and make the right decisions in planning, executing and securing a network in that kind of environment. IPv6 isn't going anywhere and if you're in the security or networking field, you have to deal with it. This book helps get you through it and follows best practices for infosec pro and engineer alike.
