IPv6 was introduced in 1994 and has been in development at the IETF
for over 10 years. It has now reached the deployment stage. KAME, the
de-facto open-source reference implementation of the IPv6 standards,
played a significant role in the acceptance and the adoption of the
IPv6 technology. The adoption of KAME by key companies in a wide
spectrum of commercial products is a testimonial to the success of the
KAME project, which concluded not long ago.
This book is the first and the only one of its kind, which reveals all
of the details of the KAME IPv6 protocol stack, explaining exactly
what every line of code does and why it was designed that way. Through
the dissection of both the code and its design, the authors illustrate
how IPv6 and its related protocols have been interpreted and
implemented from the specifications. This reference will demystify
those ambiguous areas in the standards, which are open to
interpretation and problematic in deployment, and presents solutions
offered by KAME in dealing with these implementation challenges.
* Covering a snapshot version of KAME dated April 2003 based on
FreeBSD 4.8
* Extensive line-by-line code listings with meticulous explanation of
their rationale and use for the KAME snapshot implementation, which is
generally applicable to most recent versions of the KAME IPv6 stack
including those in recent releases of BSD variants
* Numerous diagrams and illustrations help in visualizing the
implementation
* In-depth discussion of the standards provides intrinsic
understanding of the specifications
