Deploying IPv6 in Broadband Access Networks

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First and foremost, the authors acknowledge Benoit Lourdelet for his major contributions to Chapter 4 and for reviewing the remaining chapters and providing valuable feedback. The authors also thank Latif Ladid and Patrick Grossetete most sincerely for honoring us by endorsing the book and by writing the foreword and the endorsement notes.

The authors appreciate the hard work of all the reviewers, whose valuable insights and feedback improved the book significantly. Our special thanks go to Abe Martey for making available his vast knowledge of networking technology and for his rigorous review of the text. Abe's prior experience as the author of two networking technology books, IS-IS Network Design Solutions and Troubleshooting IP Routing Protocols, both published by Cisco Press, and his detailed comments and feedback, were great assets and made our work more valuable for the audience.

We would also like to thank all the people whom we have worked with on the IPv6 front at Cisco, vendors, operators, IETF, other standards bodies and platforms, and industry at large, to make IPv6 a reality.

We especially thank George Telecki, Michael Christian, Angioline Loredo, and all the staff at Wiley for helping us drive this book to completion.
