all about sockets

IPv6 is taking far longer than expected to supplant IPv4. But this book can be taken as a useful sign of progress. Presumably you are familiar with socket programming under v4. This has remained mostly unchanged since the early 90s, and there are several worthy texts explaining these. (Like by Stevens and Rago, or Comer and Stevens.)

Hagino takes us on the next step. Showing what you need to know to enable sockets under v6. Yes, there are certainly complications compared to v4. But the book shows that the basic sockets approach of v4 still gives you useful experience that carries over.
