The University of Geneva, 6Deploy and Mandat International organized a training course on IPv6 in Geneva, Switzerland, from October 5^th to 8^th 2010, with the support of Cisco and other partners. This training was organized in Geneva in two parts:

• 2 days of theoretical introduction on IPv6, at the Geneva University.
• 2 days of complementary (and optional) practical training on the configuration of an IPv6 network.

Those trainings are provided to support two IPv6 related projects:

• the Smart IPv6 Building project: www.smartipv6building.org
• the European research project Hobnet: www.hobnet-project.eu

Theoretical introduction to IPv6:

• Introduction to IPv6
• IPv6 Basics
• Associated Protocols
• Auto-configuration
• IPv6 Support in the DNS
• Deployment and Transition mechanisms
• Sensor networking
