The book is available in English in two forms of PDF and in Russian in PDF, HTML and EPUB.

I’ve not had a chance to thoroughly review the document yet, but on an initial glance through it looks to be quite an excellent resource for people looking to learn more about IPv6.  We’ve added it to our list of IPv6 resources and encourage you to check it out.

At a very high level, the overall structure of the book is:

Preface

2. IPv6 Address

3. IPv6 Packet

4. IPv6 in the Protocol Stack

5. Neighbor Discovery Protocol

6. Advanced IPv6
