Summary

One of the important topics covered in this chapter was how TCP/IP is the primary protocol in use today. Microsoft encourages you to use TCP/IP exclusively, if possible.

You also learned that the 32-bit IPv4 address is a structured and hierarchical address that is used to uniquely identify every machine on a network. You learned how to determine available IP addresses and implement subnetting. In addition, you learned how the new layer 3 IPv6 protocol is implemented, including the structure of the IPv6 address. Finally, we discussed the new functionality included in IPv6 addressing as well as several Windows Server 2008 R2 integration/migration implementations.
