IPv6 products need more conformance testing. That's the conclusion of network industry heavy hitters AT&T, Cisco, Juniper, Lucent, Microsoft and others, which are developing products that support IPV6, the next generation of the Internets main communications protocol. Sixteen vendors recently completed a third round of interoperability tests on Moonv6, the largest native IPv6 backbone. Moonv6 is a joint operation of the University of New Hampshire (UNH) InterOper-ability Laboratory the Department of Defense, the North American IPv6 Task Force and the Internet2 university consortium. The latest round of tests involved approximately 80 servers, switches and routers at 10 military and university sites from New Hampshire to Arizona. Moonv6 was founded last year and has held prior interoperability test events in March 2004 and October 2003.
