MCIP · 3-Day Instructor-Led Course
Gain comprehensive understanding of the IPv6 protocol and learn how to assess, design, plan, implement and verify IPv6 in modern multi-vendor environments — including cloud, SD-WAN, 5G and IoT.
With Malaysia's MCMC mandate requiring all public-facing services to operate on IPv6-only by 31 December 2030, the clock is running. Government agencies, telcos and enterprises that have not yet built internal IPv6 capability are facing a shrinking window to act. This 2026 edition of MCIP is fully revised to address where the industry actually is today — not where it was five years ago.
Deprecated technologies — Teredo, 6to4, and ISATAP — have been retired from this course entirely. What replaced them: 464XLAT (now the standard for IPv6-only mobile networks globally), SRv6 (deployed in Malaysia by TIME dotCom in 2024), and IPv6 in 5G standalone core networks. If your team's IPv6 knowledge is more than three years old, it is likely built around concepts that are no longer current practice.
MCMC's national mandate requires all public-facing government and infrastructure services to operate IPv6-only. Organisations without certified IPv6 staff face significant compliance risk as the deadline approaches.
Global IPv6 adoption has crossed 40% of total internet traffic. Malaysia is among the top nations at 65–70% capability. IPv6-only deployments are now the norm in mobile networks globally — your engineers need to be ready.
Our trainers are practicing consultants who have led IPv6 deployments across Malaysian government and enterprise. Every case study, every lab, and every war story in this course comes from real deployments in this region.
3GPP mandates IPv6 in 5G standalone core networks. AWS, Azure and GCP all default to dual-stack. Engineers configuring 5G, cloud infrastructure or SD-WAN without IPv6 fluency are working with incomplete knowledge.
RA spoofing, NDP cache poisoning, and extension header abuse are IPv6-specific attack vectors. CVE-2024-38063 (CVSS 9.8) demonstrated zero-click RCE via IPv6 on all Windows versions. Security teams need IPv6-aware defences.
MCMC's MTSFB TC T013:2019 mandates IPv6 certification for all directly connected equipment. IT procurement teams that cannot evaluate IPv6 compliance in vendor submissions are exposed to non-compliant acquisitions.
Participants leave with practical, vendor-neutral skills to plan and execute IPv6 deployments immediately. The course provides extensive lab time on real network equipment and cloud sandboxes — every concept covered in lecture is applied directly in the lab environment.
Fully revised for 2026 — deprecated technologies have been retired and replaced with the topics that define current practice: 464XLAT, SRv6, cloud-native IPv6, and IPv6 in 5G standalone networks.

A solid understanding of TCP/IP and hands-on IPv4 experience is required. Prior exposure to routing protocols is beneficial for the advanced routing module.
Design and deploy IPv6 in enterprise, service-provider and cloud environments with confidence.
Understand IPv6-specific threat vectors and build parity security controls for dual-stack networks.
Configure IPv6-native workloads on AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes and containerised environments.
Operate and support dual-stack networks, troubleshoot IPv6 connectivity, and manage IPAM.
Lead network transformation projects and advise on IPv6 strategy aligned to the 2030 mandate.
Build the internal capability needed to meet MCMC's 2030 IPv6-only mandate for public services.
MCIP is delivered as in-house training for government agencies, enterprises and telcos across Malaysia. Contact My6 Initiative Berhad to discuss scheduling, group rates and customisation for your organisation's specific environment.
