ITU-MUST IPv6 and IoT Centre of Expertise
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet. IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to deal with the long-anticipated problem of IPv4 address exhaustion. IPv6 is intended to replace IPv4. In December 1998, IPv6 became a Draft Standard for the IETF, who subsequently ratified it as an Internet Standard on 14 July 2017. Devices on the Internet are assigned a unique IP address for identification and location definition. With the rapid growth of the Internet after commercialization in the 1990s, it became evident that far more addresses would be needed to connect devices than the IPv4 address space had available. By 1998, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) had formalized the successor protocol. IPv6 uses a 128-bit address, theoretically allowing 2128, or approximately 3.4×1038 addresses. The actual number is slightly smaller; as multiple ranges are reserved for special use or completely excluded from use. The total number of possible IPv6 addresses is more than 7.9×1028 times as many as IPv4, which uses 32-bit addresses and provides approximately 4.3 billion addresses. The two protocols are not designed to be interoperable, complicating the transition to IPv6. However, several IPv6 transition mechanisms have been devised to permit communication between IPv4 and IPv6 hosts. IPv6 provides other technical benefits in addition to a larger addressing space. It permits hierarchical address allocation methods that facilitate route aggregation across the Internet, and thus limit the expansion of routing tables. The use of multicast addressing is expanded and simplified and provides additional optimization for the delivery of services. Device mobility, security, and configuration aspects have been considered in the design of the protocol. The aim of Certified IPv6 Fundamental (CIF) training is an insightful and revealing high-level knowledge that focus broadly on all the IPv6 key topics and things IT and networking technical persons need to know before and after transition to IPv6.
The training would involve both theory and practical led by the instructor. Easy to understand case study-based approach. In depth knowledge from experienced trainer.
This course is ideal for technical professionals from all IT related industries who need to understand the fundamentals of IPv6 network. It is very suitable for IT directors, IT managers, network administrators, network support personnel’s, network designers, networking consultants, technical staffs and anyone else who provide IPv6 network, design, configuration, troubleshooting and support services.
The participants are expected to have basic technical background in IT, engineering or science. However, participants with fluent computer skills should be able to cope with the course content in general.

There will be two (2) type assessment will be conducted during the training i.e Online Examinations and Practical Examinations. Certificate will be issued based on the successful completion of this assessment.
Participants need to attend two more additional days of training and with additional examinations to qualify for the Certified Network Engineer for IPv6 (Silver). The details of process and fee will be advised later. Upon successful receiving of the certificate, the participant eligible to apply for the certification from Global IPv6 Forum’s, IPv6 Education Certification Logo Programme via the online portal https://education.ipv6forum.com.
The deployment of IPv6 is clearly essential for the continuity of connected services after the depletion of the IPv4 address space, resulting in better mobility experience and increased network scalability.
