Background and Facilities
UNH-IOL IPv6 Program
Importance of InteroperabilityPlug-and-play operation independent of who provided the product; works with the user’s environment and applications
• Bridges creation and deployment
• Provides uncompromised third-party validation
• Decreases R&D and support costs
• Accelerates time to market• Promotes market acceptance

UNH-IOL IPv6 Program
IPv6 Testing ProgramsFocused IPv6 testing since
1996
• Product Verification• Increased customer
confidence– Neutral 3rd party reports verify
the functionality of devices
• Professional Services– Network Integration Projects– Custom Test Development– Technology Demonstrations
• Enhanced Product Awareness
– Hold industry wide group testing events
– Whitepapers and Press Releases
UNH-IOL IPv6 Program
IPv6 Ready Logo ProgramNorth American Representative
Responsibilities Include:– Review N. American applications and results– Cross-check results between labs– Currently perform the following testing as
service:• Phase-1 Base Conformance, Interoperability• Phase-2 Base Conformance, Interoperability• Phase-2 IPsec Conformance, Interoperability• Phase-2 IKEv1 Conformance, Interoperability• Phase-2 DHCPv6 Conformance, Interoperability

IPv6 Ready Logo HoldersIOL helped the following achieve the IPv6 Ready
Logo
UNH-IOL IPv6 Program
Moonv6 Network Project• A collaborative effort led by the North American
IPv6 Task Force with– The UNH Interoperability Lab– The U.S. Government's Department of Defense Joint
Interoperability Test Command (JITC)– Commercial service providers
• The project has 2 aspects– An overlay network on which applications can be
shared and end to end testing is performed– Lab-based testing of vendor products
• IPv6 deployment testing defined by network operators• Industry updates that demonstrate the current capabilities
of IPv6
