Next Generation Networking in Windows Server 2008
< Go Back
In the "Next Generation Networking in Windows Server 2008" presentation, get a detailed introduction to Next Generation (NG) TCP/IP, the first re-written networking protocol from Microsoft since the 1990s. NG TCP/IP was designed with an emphasis on security, performance, and developer support. Enhancements include online stack offloading, auto-configuration and self-tuning of IPv4, policy-based Quality of Service (QoS), and efficient multicasting.
Learn about IPv6 and the motivation behind it: address depletion and continuing problems with IPv4. The presentation outlines the benefits of IPv6, as well as the key differences between IPv4 and IPv6. Get a detailed look at IPv6, including the terminology, a description of the address space and syntax, prefixes, address types, address configuration, temporary address interface identifiers, and how IPv6 is implemented in Windows Server 2008.
The presentation concludes with an in-depth look at networking in Windows Server 2008, as well as a demonstration that shows how to apply QoS with Group Policies. Additional detail about IPv6 addressing is provided in the appendix.
