Title
Testing IPv6 implementations
Abstract
The development of IPv6 – the next generation protocol to step in place of the current Internet Protocol – has reached the level of being suitable for practical usage. Several vendors are already shipping their products with IPv6 support. It is expected, that every major hardware and software vendor will step ahead with their own implementation in one year time. With the introduction of a new technology, it is crucial to find out the implementations adherence to the standards, and their interoperability. This paper describes the current state of the on-going interoperability and compatibility test of IPv6 implementations. These tests were performed at the Department of Control Engineering and Information Technology, Technical University of Budapest. We have examined the IBM Aix, Digital Unix, FreeBSD/INRIA, FreeBSD/WIDE, Linux and FTP Software Secure Client implementations. The following two implementations were issued recently thus we have not yet performed all the tests on them: FreeBSD KAME, Microsoft Research IPv6 for Windows NT.
