Is there a BGP Protocol Module for IPv4 and another for IPv6?

IP Infusion: Product FAQs
No, the way the RFCs are written, the IPv6 extensions are added directly to the BGP-4 Protocol Module. Therefore, IP Infusion provides a BGP-4+ Protocol Module that includes both IPv4 and IPv6 support. In the case of RIP and OSPF, separate protocol modules are provided for IPv4 and IPv6 support. Yes. The ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite (ARS) supports an IETF-compliant implementation of IS-IS for IPv6.

Which RFCs do the protocol modules for OSPF, BGP, and RIP (IPv4 and IPv6) support?

IP Infusion: Product FAQs
Detailed spec sheets are available for each of the protocol modules, as well as the ZebOS Network Services Module. See our products page on the Web site to download the PDF versions. Yes. It is the first commercially available package that fully supports OSPFv3, BGP-4+, and RIPng. Because of the modularity of the ARS, customers can deploy subsets of the protocol modules.

What are the advantages of IPv6 over IPv4?

Innofone : FAQ
Trillions of times more addresses will make it a mathematical certainty that in the future there will be orders of magnitude more devices with IPv6 than IPv4. IPv6 is easier to configure. Neighbor discovery finds other IPv6 systems and stateless (and stateful) autoconfiguration enable more automated set up of systems. IPv6 is compatible with 3G wireless (near) broadband and has other features that support greater mobility.

Running - IPv6: How to make the IRCd listen on IPv4 addresses?

UnrealIrcd FAQ
Currently, if you have compiled with IPv6 support, and you need to put IPv4 addresses in a special way at some places. This "annoying behavior" might be changed later, so you can use 192.168.0.1 etc again instead of the ::ffff:x.x.x.x stuff. This is currently under consideration. If you are on *BSD (eg: FreeBSD), have compiled with IPv6 ENABLED, and have something like:listen *:6667;and while it's listening on the IPv6 address(es) just fine, connecting to the IPv4 IP on 6667 does not work.

How does my existing Windows Sockets for IPv4 code need to be modified to support IPv6?

IPv6 for Microsoft Windows: Frequently Asked Questions
The Windows Platform SDK includes a tool called Checkv4.exe. Checkv4.exe scans source code files to identify code that needs to be changed to support IPv6. Checkv4 displays the line number and a message recommending how the code should be changed. Here is an example of Checkv4.exe output: test.c(35) : gethostbyname : use getaddrinfo instead test.c(40) : gethostbyaddr : use getnameinfo instead test.

How would an application choose between IPv6 and IPv4 in an environment supporting both protocols?

IPv6style:IPv6 FAQs
When you consider both clients and servers to be IPv6 nodes, IPv6’s plug-and-play features are essentially the same for both. No matter how you look at it, it is a feature to automatically configure the necessary parameters for IP addresses and such used for IPv6 communications. In other words, IPv6’s plug-and-play feature (auto-configuration feature) provides the initial configuration parameters for a node.

Do we need to give up using IPv4 to start using IPv6?

IPv6style:IPv6 FAQs
No, you don't. IPv6 can coexist with IPv4, although in rare cases, restriction may apply due to computer functionality or the way network is constructed. Your IPv6-enabled computer can usually speak IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously. For example, Windows XP can conduct IPv4 and IPv6 communications at the same time. But you can have IPv4-only computers to talk with IPv6-only computers, without introducing some tricks like protocol translation (such as NAT-PT).

Why P:lines with IPv4 hosts are not working on IPv6 system?

IRCD FAQ
The current implementation relies on IPv6 mapped IPv4 addresses. Some systems (OpenBSD) do not support this at all, some (NetBSD, FreeBSD) ship with such mapping disabled by default. Try sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0. The server is not listening, your configuration is probably wrong, check your P lines. If you are using the virtual host support, check the configuration. This is often the first reaction of somebody upgrading from an old version, such as 2.8.

Why does the IPv6 protocol for Windows XP with SP1 display as "Microsoft IPv6 Developer Edition"?

IPv6 for Microsoft Windows: Frequently Asked Questions
Despite the displayed name, the IPv6 protocol for Windows XP with SP1 is a production-capable and supported protocol in the same way as the IPv6 protocol for Windows XP with SP2 and Windows Server 2003. Microsoft developers were unable to change the name of the protocol in Windows XP SP1 due to the impact of the change for localized versions of Windows XP. In Windows XP with SP2, the name of the IPv6 protocol has been changed to "Microsoft TCP/IP version 6."

How does IPv6 solve the problem of IPv4 address exhaustion?

Internet Society (ISOC) - Education and Training - FAQ on IP...
Simply by having a lot more address space to uniquely identify devices that are connected to the Internet. IPv4 has a theoretical maximum of about 4 billion addresses whereas IPv6 has an unthinkable theoretical maximum: about 340 trillion, trillion, trillion addresses. In actual use, IPv6 addresses are structured for routing and other purposes and as a result the number of addresses available is effectively less, but still extremely large.

What is BGP?

BGP stands for Border Gateway Protocol. The current version of BGP is BGP4. Some BGP FAQs are available at the following sites: In order to utilize BGP, you will need an AS number. To apply for one you will need to fill out the following form: In order to justify receipt of an AS number, you will need to explain that your site is multi-homed, and that you intend to BGP peer with both the vBNS and your commodity provider in order to control routing.

Frequently Asked Questions on Multi-homing and BGP
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol used to exchange routing information across the Internet. BGP is an exterior routing protocol and as such is concerned with routing between networks rather than within them (this is the domain of the interior routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, IS-IS). BGP/4 is defined in RFC 1771. Also see RFC's 1772, 1773, and 1774.

I run an ISP with a block of IPv4 address space. Can I just convert that into IPv6 space?

Internet Society (ISOC) - Education and Training - FAQ on IP...
You will need to obtain new IPv6 addresses in addition to your existing IPv4 address blocks. IPv4 address space that you have today can still be used in a dual IPv4-IPv6 environment. The RIRs all have policies that make it straightforward for an ISP with IPv4 space to apply for and receive IPv6 address space. You should contact the RIR for your region or your ISP for more information on how to acquire IPv6 addresses.

Is Altova software compatible with the IPv6 network protocol?

Altova : General XML FAQ
Version 2007 of Altova???s software applications is already compatible with IPv6 today, to the extent that DNS resolution is being used for entering host names and URLs, which is the normal way users interact with network addresses. For example, opening an XML document from a server using the URL http://www.test.server.edu/testfile.xml will correctly open the file in both IPv4 and IPv6 networking environments.

What is IPv6?

Internet2 @ Binghamton University: FAQ
Internet Protocol version 6, once referred to as IP Next Generation (IPng), is the next generation IP protocol. Its specifications was completed in 1997 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). IPv6 is designed to correct some of the shortcomings of IPv4 such as data security and maximum number of Internet addresses. IPv6 increases the address space from 32 to 128 bits and also supports quality of service (QoS) parameters for realtime audio and video.

Innofone : FAQ
IPv6 stands for Internet Protocol version 6. IPv6 governs the addressing and routing of data through a network. IPv6 is intended to replace the IPv4 standard, whose limits on network addresses are beginning to restrict Internet growth and use, especially in China, India, and other heavily populated Asian countries]. But the new standard will improve service all around the globe; for example, by providing future cell phones and mobile devices with their own unique and permanent addresses.

CBN :.
IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF (The Internet Engineering Task Force; www.ietf.org) to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 ("IPv4"). Most of today's internet uses IPv4, which is now nearly twenty years old. IPv4 has been remarkably resilient in spite of its age, but it is beginning to have problems.
