Abstract
In Chapter 7, I dealt with the Linux Neighboring Subsystem and its implementation. In this chapter, I will discuss the IPv6 protocol and its implementation in Linux. IPv6 is the next-generation network layer protocol of the TCP/IP protocol stack. It was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and it is intended to replace IPv4, which still carries the vast majority of Internet traffic.
