IPv6 support will be a requirement when the next generation of embedded devices enters the Internet. To meet this demand, Interpeak now introduces IPLITE, an ultra compact IPv4/IPv6 protocol stack, designed for minimum footprint and maximum performance. This means that the new IPv6 standard---the next generation Internet protocol---will be necessary for embedded systems. Many embedded applications must therefore be able to communicate with both types of nodes. The modular design of IPLITE permits the user to tailor it to the needs of the application, thus providing the smallest possible size. Hence, the PPP, TCP and IPSec protocols are provided as optional modules.

KNOPPIX-IPv6 is a CD bootable Linux with automatic IPv6 setting function. It is a derivative of CD bootable Linux "KNOPPIX" developed by Klaus Knopper with Debian GNU/Linux. KNOPPIX-IPv6 includes USAGI IPv6 Protocol Stack and 6to4 Tunneling automatic setting function and enables to use IPv6 connection on IPv4 environment. The CD of KNOPPIX-IPv6 can boot on AT compatible machine with a bootable CD drive. If the machine can not reach to the KDE desktop, device recognition may be failed. It is thought in general FTTH, ADSL, analog dialup, and a part of CATV connection that this condition is fulfilled. In KNOPPIX-IPv6, Mozilla is contained as IPv6 correspondence application.

Voyager Mobile IPv6 allows an Internetenabled mobile host such as a cell phone or PDA, package delivery truck, passenger jet, etc., to send and receive IPv6 packets using its global IPv6 home address regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. This unchanging global IPv6 home address is a global network ID enabling "always on" Internet connections, as well as push technologies where the network initiates the connection to the mobile host. For example, Mobile IPv6 can enable a user to accept incoming VoIP packet-switched phone calls over WiFi to their global home address regardless of where they are physically connected to the Internet.

This document describes the software and procedures to set up and use mobile IPv6 for Linux. While situated away from its home, a mobile node is also associated with a care-of address, which provides information about the mobile node's current location. I'll let [RFC2462] (IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) describe the next phase: "The next phase of autoconfiguration involves obtaining a Router Advertisement or determining that no routers are present. The link-local address generated at boot Almost at the same time, the MN will perform a binding update to HA. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

Being improved rapidly by USAGI project. -- Whistler (Next Generation Windows) is already IPv6 capable. -- Beta IPv6 IOS works very fine. · Distributed as free software, but source code isn't open. -- NE2000 and Etherlink III family only. · Application can't handle IPv6 address directly. · Automatic Configuration (receiving RA) isn't supported. -- NO APIs or SDK are available. · It had been historical standard for DOS/Windows 3.x. · IPv6 feature is supported from ver. · Router Discovery and address automatic configuration are supported for Ethernet interfaces. · Dialup PPP and Header compression are implemented, Header compression is not yet tested.

Version 2.5 of the Implementing IPv6 Networks course is a 3-day instructor-led training course that provides technical training to help network engineers with the implementation, configuration, and maintenance of IPv6 networks using Cisco devices running Cisco IOS Software release 12.2T or later. The course provides network professionals including SEs, Partners, and Customers the knowledge and skills required to install, configure, and maintain Cisco network devices that support IPv6 features available in the Cisco IOS 12.2T release or later. The hands-on lab exercises in this course provide critical training to enable network professionals to install and configure IPv6 networks and make the integration and coexistence of IPv6 and IPv4 networks successful. Routing, switching and access product knowledge and skills equivalent to CCNP or better.

The RIRs confirm their commitment and continued support towards the deployment of IPv6 in co-operation with the IPv6 Task Forces and with the support of the IPv6 Forum. The RIRs and the IPv6 Task Forces encourage early evaluation by network operators and industry players, in order to promote the necessary technical dialogue and to facilitate widespread adoption. "The RIPE NCC has supported IPv6 from an early stage. Jordi Palet, Founding Member of the EU IPv6 Task Force and co-chair of the IPv6 Forum's Awareness and Education Working Group, sees the formalisation of this co-operative support of IPv6 deployment as an important development.

Many of the Internet protocols have traditionally only been available to workstation-class computers without any resource constraints. Interpeak now introduces IPNET, a full-featured IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack, specifically designed to be used in modern embedded real-time systems. The original design of the TCP/IP protocol surprisingly dates back to the early eighties, but new features are continuously added by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Interpeak IPNET supports IPv6, which extends the current IP protocol specification in a number of important aspects. During this period, a common situation will be that a TCP/IP stack has to support communication with both type of nodes.

Workarounds such as Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) extend the addressing capabilities of IPv4, but at the price of compromising performance, security, and management of the Internet. In addition, NATs require a client-server model, which interferes with the peer-to-peer connectivity vital to today's mobile communications. IPv4 also lacks support for other crucial features needed for the next-generation Internet, including automatic configuration, larger router tables, more efficient multicast support, and enhanced security.

Mobile ad-hoc networks are infrastructure-free, highly dynamic wireless networks, where central administration or configuration by the user is impractical. The Internet Protocol IPv6 defines mechanisms to autoconfigure interfaces of nodes in wired networks in a distributed manner. Furthermore, the network may partition and merge again later, dependent on the mobility patterns and transmission ranges of the mobile nodes. The first requirement is accommodated by choosing the node with the highest number of neighbors as the leader node. One or more nodes, that are not in leader state, but have the highest number of neighbors in the scope, qualify themselves as potential leader nodes and, thus, are in candidate state.
