>   Knowledge and experience on how to operate IPv4 securely is
>   available: whether it is the Internet or an enterprise internal
>   network.  However, IPv6 presents some new security challenges.  RFC
>   4942 describes the security issues in the protocol but network
>   managers also need a more practical, operations-minded document to
>   enumerate advantages and/or disadvantages of certain choices.
> 
>   This document analyzes the operational security issues in several
>   places of a network (enterprises, service providers and residential
>   users) and proposes technical and procedural mitigations techniques.
>   Some very specific places of a network such as the Internet of Things
>   are not discussed in this document.
