“你準備好了嗎?”
東京/波士頓/盧森堡, 2003年4月28日- 在促進全球產業界進行下一代網路通訊協定的設計、發展及建置過程中，IPv6論壇(IPv6 Forum)扮演重要角色。不像IPv4是由一小群封閉的建置者開始發展，IPv6的普及化將是全球性，且涉及龐大數量的建置工作。也由於建置數量的龐大，互通性一直是重要的課題。建立一個全球共通的標識(logo)，以用來辨別經互通性認證的產品，是非常重要的。
因此，IPv6論壇定義了全球第一個標識計畫，稱為「IPv6 Ready」。這個標識可以讓用戶對IPv6更具信心，因為它代表IPv6已是運作中的標準，而且具有該標識的產品都已通過一定等級的互通性測試。這個計畫的建構中樞為下列幾個 IPv6測試及相容性單位：
新罕布夏大學互通性實驗室(UNH-IOL): http://www.iol.unh.edu/
TAHI 測試活動: http://www.tahi.org
ETSI IPv6 實機測試: http://www.etsi.org/plugtests
IRISIA: http://www.irisa.fr/tipi
Connectathon: http://www.connectathon.org
IPv6標識計畫是一個國際工作小組制定的，該工作小組由Hiroshi Esaki主持，由法國IRISIA的Cesar Viho、美國UNH-IOL的Ben Schultz及日本TAHI的Hiroshi Miyata提供技術支援。
「提供全球單一的評估標準對IPv6基礎建設的建置是非常重要的。WIDE計畫自1998年起便著手推動TAHI計畫，以支援設備中IPv6通訊堆疊的評估及認證工作。我很榮幸能夠主持IPv6標識計畫，它將在全球IPv6建置及運作中扮演吃重的角色。」- Hiroshi Esaki, IPv6標識計畫主席、日本IPv6 Promotion Council及WIDE計畫成員。
Jim Bound, Nav6TF及IPv6技術董事說: 「IPv6的產品及實作已經問世有一段時間了，這個計畫(IPv6標識計畫)將對市場加強這個訊息。」
「IPv6已經就緒! 現在，你準備好了嗎」Latif Latif, IPv6TF主席，ISOC理事，IPv6 Forum 總裁問道。
IPv6 Logo的啟用典禮將於5月12至14日的馬德里全球IPv6高峰會中舉行，屆時也將會進行多點同步進行的ETSI實機測試。http://www.ipv6-es.com/03/in/plugtests.php

1st Multi-site Remote IPv6 Interoperability event
ETSI organize the IPv6 Plugtests events where engineers get together to test the interoperability of their implementations against each other. The 1st Remote IPv6 Plugtests will 'bring together' companies and laboratories from the entire world.
For general information about the ETSI Remote IPv6 Interoperability Event, visit the Plugtests site (http://www.etsi.org/plugtests/02UpcomingEvents/R-IPv6/RIPV6_home.htm).
Simultaneously with the Madrid Global IPv6 Summit 2003, the ETSI Plugtests Interoperability Service will hold a "Multi-site Remote IPv6 Interoperability event".
For the first time in such event, a real IPv6 environment will be available, and a permanent IPv6 link from the pan-European Euro6IX network will be used in order to offer remote testing and the opportunity for companies to participate from a distance in this Multi-site Remote IPv6 Plugtests.
The aim is to test in site or remotely issues as:
o
IPv6 Core
o Mobile IPv6
o Transitions mechanisms (6to4, SIIT /NAT-PT)
o Routing
o Multicast
o IPsec
TAHI PROJECT
The TAHI Project is a joint effort designed with the clear objective of developing and providing the verification technology for IPv6. http://www6.tahi.org/
The TAHI Project started October 1, 1998 and is managed by the following organizations :
Objectives:
1. Research & Development IPv6 evaluation technology
2. Support IPv6 Developers in the quality side
With prime tasks:
1. Research and develop conformance tests and interoperability tests for IPv6.
2. Close cooperation between KAME Project and USAGI Project.
3. Open results and lessons learned of the project to the public for FREE.
Hosting Ipv6 Interoperability Test Events
University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab
The IOL's first mission is externally focused and is to provide testing services for vendors of computer communications devices. The IOL is involved in research and development work, but is mainly used by a community of over 200 vendors to verify the interoperability and/or conformance of their computer communications products. This service of the IOL is performed through independent focused interest groups in the lab which we call consortiums. The IOL currently has 14 consortiums in operation to test the following computer communications technologies: 10-Gigabit Ethernet, ADSL, Bridge Functions, DOCSIS, Fast Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, IPv6, iSCSI, MPLS, Routing, SHDSL and Wireless 802.11. The IOL also offers contracted testing services in Ethernet (10Base-T). http://www.iol.unh.edu/
The Interoperabilitiy testing will be also organized by the partners of the IPv6 Ready Program in South Korea, China, Taiwan and India.
Details on these organizations and contacts will be published on the web page.
