Aricent IPv6 is a portable implementation of the next generation Internet Protocol Version 6, complying with the relevant RFCs and Internet drafts. The major components of the software are IPv6 Core, Path MTU Discovery, Neighbor Discovery (ND), ICMPv6, UDP over IPv6 (UDP6), Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers (Tunnel), MLD, IPSEC and Ping6 Utility.

Aricent IPv6 Features:

• Provides support for unicast, multicast and anycast addresses.
• Provides support for IPv6 Packet forwarding.
• Supports IPv6 Fragmentation and Re-assembly.
• Supports processing of IPv6 Extension headers - Hop-by-Hop options, Routing (Type 0) options, Destination Options and the Router Alert Option.
• Supports Path MTU Discovery.
• Provides support for static route configuration.
• Provides support for Neighbor Discovery protocol for both Router and Host implementations.
• Provides support for Link Layer Address Resolution, Neighbor Unreachability Detection (NUD) and Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) on broadcast media such as Ethernet.
• Supports stateless address autoconfiguration.
• Supports Proxy Neighbor Discovery
• Provides complete support for ICMPv6 functionality.
• Supports following Transition mechanisms - Configured and Automatic tunneling of IPv6 packets over IPv4 cloud with IPv6 Header Translation.
• Can be easily extendable to Dual IP stack.
• Supports Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) for Hosts and Routers.
• Supports Ethernet interfaces and Tunnel interfaces of type IPv6 Over IPv4.
• Supports Ping Utility for testing/debugging
• Provides framework for Security Architecture with the support of Authentication and encryption of IPv6 packets using MD5, Keyed-MD5, HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1, DES-CBC, NULL Authentication or NULL encryption algorithms.
• Provides support for manual configuration of Security Associations.
• Provides support for configuring Security Policy Database
• Provides support for mobility (optional).
• Conforms to Future Software Architecture for Portability (FSAP2), thus ensuring highly portable code, which uses flexible buffer and timer management libraries.
• Aricent Ipv6 is completely configurable and manageable through SNMP using standard and proprietary MIBs, and also supports dynamic configuration. No other form of management is required.

Aricent IPv6 Benefits:

Aricent IPv6 is easily portable and supports both ENDIAN types and multiple operating systems with very little effort.
