WindNet IPv6. (Internet Products).WindNet IPv6 (Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. version 6) developed in conjunction with one of Wind River's customers, Siemens, WindNet IPv6 provides the protocol and integrated networking A network that supports both data and voice and/or different networking protocols. See converged network and new public network. support required to utilise IPv6 technology said to be the world's next-generation IP protocol, that will serve as the foundation for all Internet traffic Internet traffic is the flow of data around the Internet. It includes web traffic, which is the amount of that data that is related to the World Wide Web, along with the traffic from other major uses of the Internet, such as electronic mail and peer-to-peer networks. . Comment: Currently, IP version 4 (1Pv4) supports up to four billion IP addresses, yet the number of connected devices ranging from desktop PCs and cell phones to wireless automotive applications continue to increase at a rapid pace. The IPv4 address space will soon be exhausted, making it imperative that companies provide technology to support this growth. IPv6 is designed to enable future growth of the Internet by enhancing the current IP protocol standard. It includes the ability to provide a virtually unlimited amount of user addresses for networks and systems connected to the Internet, and improved data security features. Because there are a finite number of IPv4 user addresses, which are being quickly exhausted by the rapid deployment of new usages of the Internet, IPv6 is quickly gaining support in Japan, the Asia Pacific region and Europe where IP addresses are in short supply. WindNet IPv6 a full-featured implementation of IPv6 networking standards is also integrated with Wind River's VxWorks real-time operating system (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. , Tornado development tools, device management products and related networking protocols giving developers the components to build IPv6 enabled products. Also the product is prepared to support the IPv6 security protocol that provides authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message. See message integrity, e-mail authentication and MAC. (2) Verifying the identity of a user logging into a network. and encryption The reversible transformation of data from the original (the plaintext) to a difficult-to-interpret format (the ciphertext) as a mechanism for protecting its confidentiality, integrity and sometimes its authenticity. Encryption uses an encryption algorithm and one or more encryption keys. for Internet traffic. Customers can use Wind River's IPv6 implementation as the foundation for creating secure virtual private networks (VPNS VPNS Virtual Private Network Service (AT&T) ), and 3G wireless applications. In addition to fixing the issue of limited number of available IPv4 addresses by increasing the address space from 32 to 128 bits. www.windriver.com |
