In March, the Broadband Forum launched its BroadbandSuiteT 4.0
release-specifications that enable the integration of the IPv6 protocol into
existing network and remote management platforms. The release enables
network support of IPv6 from core to user in fiber and DSL network deployments
worldwide.
It provides the capability for networks to scale to
address practically limitless numbers of devices. Future enhancements have the
potential to enrich the user experience (supporting secure, mobile and nomadic
applications) and enable the proliferation of connected user devices and
machine-to-machine communications.
This IPv6 toolkit helps service providers reduce the
impact of IPv4 protocol exhaustion on their existing services while ensuring
the growth of new users, devices and applications.
The IPv6 Forum’s aim is to drive the development of the IPv6 Ready
Certification and Logo Program, bringing together the industry in order to
deploy IPv6 on a large scale and ensure the interoperability of all devices.
The organization’s IPv6 Ready CPE Test Plan draws on the IPv6 work of the Broadband Forum.
