The application of IPv6 in Enterprise networks makes demands by far exceeding those of a mere migration of routers and firewalls. In the end, the decisive criterion is the smooth functioning of the applications. For this purpose, it is required to adapt desktop PCs and servers both on the operating system and on the application level. This course gives the students a guideline for properly planning and performing the migration of an enterprise network. Hands-on exercises in an IPv6 test network and the Internet via an IPv6-capable Internet access round off the topic.
