IPv6 Buzz 072: NIST And Testing IPv6 Interoperability

Today’s IPv6 Buzz guest, Doug Montgomery, is manager of Internet and scalable systems research at NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology), which has been critical in helping standardize IPv6 interoperability standards and testing. Topics discussed include: * NIST’s role in IPv6 adoption and primary goals (along with current IPv6 project status and efforts NIST is working on) * The USGv6 testing program and how it’s used by Federal and commercial enterprises to help them evaluate IPv6-capable products * How NIST provides IPv6 planning, testing, and deployment advice for many years to U.S. Federal organizations (and how this guidance applies to commercial enterprises) * What the “IPv6 Capability Vocabulary” is for defining an IT product ‘s function and how Capability Summary Strings (CSSs) work Thanks for listening!
