This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th IEEE International Workshop on IP Operations and Management, IPOM 2006, held in Dublin, Ireland in October 2006 in the course of the 2nd International Week on Management of Networks and Services, Manweek 2006. The 18 revised full papers and four revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions.
