Reserved for products that pass a rigorous and objective test procedure conducted by the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) tests networking and data communications products. The university established the laboratory in 1988, "with the dual mission of providing a neutral environment to foster multi-vendor interoperability and (UNH-IOL UNH-IOL University of New Hampshire-interoperability Laboratory ), the IPv6 Ready designation validates system, software and device performance against specific parameters established by the IPv6 Forum. FASTPATH software was one of the first products to complete a newly revised UNH-IOL test cycle that combined the previously-separate Phase 1 and Phase 2 test procedures into a single, comprehensive assessment. The new testing process, outlined in Revision 3.8.8 to the IPv6 Ready specifications, evaluates system interoperability, compliance with core protocols, and detailed performance measurements associated with multiple RFC (Request For Comments) A document that describes the specifications for a recommended technology. Although the word "request" is in the title, if the specification is ratified, it becomes a standards document. industry standards. "LVL7 has shown a positive commitment to IPv6 compliance and interoperability through involvement in the IPv6 Ready logo program," said Erica Williamsen, UNH-IOL's senior manager of Software and Applications, and manager of the IPv6 Consortium. "LVL7 has completed a rigorous body of tests that fully qualify FASTPATH 4.4 to join the family of approved IPv6 Ready Phase-2 solutions." To participate in the revised test suite, FASTPATH 4.4.3 software functioned as the core networking software powering a Broadcom(R)-based platform equipped with the latest IPv6-capable StrataXGS(R) III switching silicon. Wind River's VxWorks(R) served as the operating system. By passing all the pertinent tests contained in the revised technical specifications, FASTPATH software became eligible for the IPv6 Ready logo recognition. "Objective, third-party evaluations from organizations like UNH-IOL have a high degree of credibility in the industry and among our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers," said Dave King, LVL7's vice president of marketing and strategy. "Obviously, we're pleased with the FASTPATH test results and the IPv6 Ready acknowledgment that comes from this achievement. But the real satisfaction comes from enabling our customers to rapidly introduce IPv6 Ready systems that are driving the next generation of computer networks." FASTPATH 4.4.3 software became available this month. The FASTPATH 4.4.3 release also provides IPv6 support for Linux-based systems in addition to the IPv6 Ready implementation for VxWorks.
