<p>Good question. My answer last year was here: <a href="http://www.wleecoyote.com/blog/IPv6reading.html" id="LPlnk237697">
http://www.wleecoyote.com/blog/IPv6reading.html</a></p>
<p>With less than a day of reading, you will understand enough about IPv6 to get to work. The rest will be adapting your specific configurations and reading documentation. Updated links/notes below:</p>
<p>1. <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-rfc4291bis/?include_text=1" style="color:rgb(102,102,102); text-decoration:none; border-bottom:1px dotted">
draft-ietf-6man-rfc4291bis</a>, "IPv6 Address Architecture." Sure, you could read RFC4291, but this draft is pretty close to done, and contains all the current updates.</p>
<p>2. <a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4861.txt" style="color:rgb(102,102,102); text-decoration:none; border-bottom:1px
dotted">
RFC4861</a>, "Neighbor Discovery." It's long, at almost 100 pages, but you can probably skip most of the packet format stuff. If you understand the stuff in this document, including ND, DAD, RS, RA, NS, NA, then you have a solid understanding of IPv6.<br>
</p>
3. You need both of these in order to understand how magically hosts get provisioned:
<ul>
<li style="margin-left:200px"><a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4862.txt" style="color:rgb(102,102,102); text-decoration:none; border-bottom:1px
dotted">RFC4862</a>, "IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration" or "SLAAC", and
</li><li style="margin-left:200px"><a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc8106.txt" style="color:rgb(102,102,102); text-decoration:none; border-bottom:1px
dotted">RFC8106</a>, "The RDNSS Option in RA".
</li></ul>
<p>4. <a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3315.txt" style="color:rgb(102,102,102); text-decoration:none; border-bottom:1px
dotted">
RFC3315</a>, "DHCPv6". You should know IA_NA and IA_PD. You should learn as much about DHCPv6 as you know about DHCP. One of the interesting parts is how DHCPv6 options can be used to provision transition mechanisms (but that's another post).</p>
<p>5. <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8201/" style="color:rgb(102,102,102); text-decoration:none; border-bottom:1px dotted">
RFC8201</a> "Path MTU Discovery". Understanding this will let you troubleshoot the most common IPv6 problem.<br>
</p>
<br>
For extra credit:<span> <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc8200/">RFC8200</a></span>, "IPv6 Specification". I'm sure it sounds weird to say that the base spec is extra credit, but other than packet structure, the important stuff here is Extension
Headers and flow labels, and there aren't many practical uses for those yet. If you want to think of creative uses for IPv6, then you should look into those. But if you've read the full list up to this point, you have enough information to design, build, and
operate an IPv6 network. Advice is included in several deployment guidelines, but AfriNIC probably has the best direct support anywhere, and you can't beat the price.<br>
