IPv6 Essentials

Vendor Support

A great number of vendors already support IPv6 and the list grows daily. I had to make a choice for my test network. There are many other vendors and operating systems that you can use to play with. The IPv6 Forum has a list of members with links to the vendor sites. They all have IPv6 position papers published. To get updated information, visit your vendor’s IPv6 site. Here is a list of position papers, dated October 2001.
