Implementing and Securing IPv6 is of our most popular IPv6 training courses.

This is an advanced technical course that is ideal for all technologists interested in learning how to both deploy and secure IPv6. This course is constantly updated in line with the latest IPv6 standards and products. This course has over two decades of continuous development.

IPv6 training is becoming increasingly relevant in 2023 with the widespread use of IPv6 and the increasing deterioration of the legacy IPv4 Internet.

Deploying IPv6 not only future proofs your network but it also brings with it the opportunity for performance, functionality and operational improvements.

IPv6 is very different from IPv4.

The common belief that IPv6 is IPv4 with longer addresses is wrong. IPv6 is made up of many new features and functions which are often widely and subtly different from those in IPv4. Even IPv6 addresses are significantly different from IPv4 addresses, not just in size, but in how they are structured, their types, their attributes, how many their are and how they are used. It is crucially important when deploying and securing IPv6 to move away from legacy IPv4 thinking and fully appreciate the differences from IPv4.

Erion is the world’s leading IPv6 training company. With over two decades of experience of providing IPv6 training and IPv6 consultancy services, Erion has the world’s most comprehensive portfolio of IPv6 training courses. Erion’s courses cover all aspects of IPv6 on all major operating systems and platforms.

All Erion’s IPv6 training courses are Gold certified by the IPv6 Forum. Our IPv6 security courses are also IPv6 Security certified from the IPv6 Forum.

This course will be delivered by Erion’s chief consultant Dr David Holder.

We are pleased to announce a new and even more comprehensive version of our IPv6 Forensics training course. The new course is five days long rather than four and we have included even more material and exercises to an already extensive and detailed course.

This course is designed for network security professionals and network forensics practitioners who wish to learn about IPv6 forensics. Attendees first learn about the basic principles of forensics, before proceeding to examine all aspects of IPv6 to determine where and how to obtain IPv6 forensics evidence. The course also covers a considerable number of important security and forensics tools and shows how forensics practitioners can use those tools to analyse IPv6 incidents.

Each module includes step-by-step practical exercises showing how to use each tool and extensive practice analysing simulated incidents. These tools include; packet capture tools, flow capture tools, system and applicating logging tools, intrusion detection systems and security systems. The course also includes how to configure and use Elasticsearch to capture and analyse a large set of different IPv6 evidence ranging from flow data to application data.

As always with Erion courses, this course includes comprehensive manuals consisting of a course manual, an exercises manual and an exercise solutions manual (over 530 sides in total).

For full details of this course see the IPv6 Forensics 5 days course description. For upcoming public training events see our training schedule here. If you do not see a location or date that meets your requirements, then please contact us to discuss what we can do with you. This course is also available in a virtual classroom and as a closed on-site event.

IPv6 training is becoming increasingly relevant in 2017 with the exponential growth in the deployment of IPv6 and the increasing deterioration of the legacy IPv4 Internet.

Deploying IPv6 not only future proofs your network but it also brings with it the opportunity for performance, functionality and operational improvements. For example, Facebook found that end users using IPv6 experience a 15% performance improvement over end users using IPv4. Also, in the long term, IPv6 is the only protocol suitable as a basis for the Internet of Things (IoT).

Furthermore, we already reaching the point where organisations are not only considering moving to IPv6-only networks but have already deployed such networks. Microsoft, Facebook, LinkedIn and Cisco are amongst those who have or are in the process of deploying IPv6-only networks.

NEW Erion are delighted to announce a new advanced IPv6 training course focusing on network forensics for IPv6 networks and systems.

This course is designed from the ground up to provide forensic investigators and network security professionals with all that they need to carry out effective IPv6 forensic investigations. In today’s cyber security aware environment, network forensics is playing an ever increasing role in investigating incidents. The significant growth in IPv6 within enterprise networks, the Internet of Things and the widespread deployment of IPv6 on the global Internet means that many current and future incidents will involve network forensics in IPv6 environments.

The often complex and varied differences between IPv4 and IPv6 mean that there is a very real need for investigators to learn about IPv6 and adapt their existing skills for IPv6 networks as well as understanding where new tools and approaches are required.

This course covers all aspects of IPv6 network forensics and provides both a grounding in advanced network forensics techniques and in the IPv6 technologies and tools that are available to assist investigators. The course includes details of the relevant aspects of the IPv6 protocols, implementations and operations pertinent to gathering evidence

The IPv6 Forensics course is run over 4-days and contains twelve comprehensive modules. Each module has extensive hands-on practical exercises so that delegates can explorer and gain experience with the techniques and tools taught in the course.

Erion can provide this course on-site at your premises or you may wish to attend one of our public runs of the course. If you wish we can create a tailored IPv6 training programme for your organisation that includes modules from this and any other of our many IPv6 courses. We can also accompany the training with specialist IPv6 consultancy.

As the world’s leading IPv6 training company, we are pleased to announced that we will be running some of our most popular IPv6 courses in Edinburgh, UK during 2017.

These include our comprehensive 5-day Implementing and Securing IPv6 course which covers all that you need to deploy and secure IPv6 in your networks.

Erion has over 19 years experience in IPv6. Over that time we have provided IPv6 consultancy and IPv6 training to leading organisations, enterprises and governments world-wide. Throughout the many IPv6 deployments and implementations that we have carried out we have consistently noticed two things; people underestimate the need for IPv6 training and IPv6 training is crucial to success.

Many assume that IPv6 is simply IPv4 with longer addresses. This is naive. Whilst the purpose and basic function of IPv6 is the same as IPv4; that is to route datagrams from a one node to another node (possibly on a different network), the features, functions, attributes and management of IPv6 are very different. Crucially, in many cases what is considered best practice in IPv4 is the opposite in IPv6. This means that staff with extensive experience of IPv4 have to have a change of mindset in order to successfully deploy IPv6.

For this reason, we have created the world’s largest portfolio of IPv6 training courses, covering all aspects if IPv6, across many different platforms and for a wide range of audiences. Continuously updated to reflect the latest standards and best practice our courses are ideally suited to ensure that you are ready to deploy IPv6 in an efficient and safe. Thereby maximising the benefit to your business.

Full details of our upcoming IPv6 training schedule can be found here. Alternatively, we can run on-site IPv6 courses for you at your premises when we can tailor the training programme to meet your exact requirements.

May 2017 Schedule

We have just scheduled courses in May 2017 for Edinburgh, UK. This includes our Implementing and Securing IPv6 course on a range of different platforms including Linux, Cisco IOS and Windows.

Full details can be found at our IPv6 training site.

Please contact us for further details.


If you are preparing to deploy and secure your network for IPv6 then this IPv6 training is for you. Erion brings you the best in IPv6 training. We have extensive experience with IPv6 having provided IPv6 training and consultancy services for over 18 years, longer than any other independent IPv6 training provider. Also, we are proud to have the world’s largest and most IPv6 training portfolio covering all aspects of IPv6 on all major platforms.

The course that you can attend in November, is one of our most popular IPv6 training courses. The course, Implementing and Securing IPv6, is a comprehensive technical course that is ideal for all technologists interested in learning how to both deploy and secure IPv6. It provides all that you need to understand the issues surrounding IPv6 deployment and security and includes comprehensive practical hands-on labs to allow you to gain experience with real-world scenarios.

This training is becoming increasingly relevant in 2016 with the announcements by all of the UK’s major ISPs that they will be turning on IPv6 for their customers this year. Now that over 50% of the world’s major content providers are IPv6 enabled and almost 100% of Internet transit providers are IPv6 enabled, end-users with both IPv6 and IPv4 find that over 70% of their traffic is over IPv6 rather than IPv4.
