IV.6 TRAINING
The purpose of this part is to
provide readers and end users of this book a brief description of concepts that
must be clear for installing and configuring IPv6 on their system. IPv6 can be
installed as a normal software upgrade in most Internet devices. Mastering
technology is not done by reading about it, so the followings platforms have
been shown in this book with plenty options. It is very easy, it took not even
five minute to configure it or install it.

sorts of statistics.
Simply go to start netsh from the command-line prompt to start
the utility and change to the context interface, then change to the context ip,
