III.4 TRAINING
Training gives a thorough understanding of how best to put
IPv6 to work in their environment. As with any new technology, IPv6 requires a
learning curve for network managers and operations personnel.
For end users, the protocol is transparent, and there should
be no learning curve unless their application requires typing in explicit
addresses. Probably end users will not see much difference if their Internet
service providers run IPv6; all Internet applications should run transparently
on both IPv4 and IPv6. However, as new applications and devices running
IPv6 become available, end users will be able to expand the amount of
applications and devices they use over the Internet.
To assist network migrator, network managers and users in
becoming comfortable with IPv6, Cisco Systems has developed an IPv6 education
program that includes:
· Cisco IOS Software IPv6 e-learning class available from
Cisco.com
· IPv6 book available from Cisco

III.5 ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES OF MIGRATION METHODOLOGY
III.5.1 Advantages of migration
methodology
It is easy to interpret the results, compare and analyze the
Quality of Service and the Performance of this purpose.
The presented research aims to provide also a structured
migration methodology to aid the network migrator in choosing and implementing
optimal migration mechanisms as well as understanding and subsequently
optimizing the impact of the migration on the network.
III.5.2 Disadvantages of
migration methodology
Disadvantages include the fact that managing the process may
be more difficult because the IPv6 is a work in progress.
