Friday May 18, 2007 Solaris 10U4 is IPv6 ready We just got word from the Interoperability Lab at the University of New Hampshire (UNH), our IPv6 test lab, that Solaris 10 Update 4 has passed the phase I and phase II IPv6 readiness logo test. This means Solaris is ready for prime time in the IPv6 space. S10U4 will also have a DHCPv6 client, comprensive MIBv6 support as well as Duplicate Address Detection. This means Solaris is fully functional in an IPv6 environment. Initially it looked like the roll-out of IPv6 was going to be lead by a US government mandate. Now it seems like the media industry will be sprearheading this: There are several media customers who are craving for IPv6 now, not because of a random mandate, but simply because they are running out of IPv4 addresses in their networks. Who would have thougth? Go IPv6!!! ( May 18 2007, 12:27:55 AM PDT ) Permalink Comments [1]
