Chapter 1. Managing IPv6 Concepts

The implementation of IPv6 in Solaris consists primarily of changes to the TCP/IP stack, both at the kernel and user level. New modules were added to enable tunneling, router discovery, and stateless address autoconfiguration. This chapter describes the concepts associated with the implementation of IPv6 in Solaris.
