There are no prerequisite sessions that you need to attend before my session. However, if you have an interest in understanding the darkest depths of DirectAccess and IPv6, I recommend that you also attend the following sessions by John Craddock.

SVR401: DirectAccess Technical Drilldown, Part 1 of 2: IPv6 and transition technologies.

SVR402: DirectAccess Technical Drilldown, Part 2 of 2: Putting it all together.

I will be recapping some of the content covered in these sessions, but as my session focuses on Unified Access Gateway, I will not go in to the depths of how DirectAccess works.
