## Background and Facilities

- Established in 1988 and part of the University of New Hampshire
- 100% funded by Commercial companies
- Operates 19+ consortiums / services groups
- Work with 130+ companies from around the world
- 32,000 square foot facility
- Largest heterogeneous test beds in N. America
- Thousands of traffic generators ports
- Hundreds of hosts, routers, switches
- Leading-edge test equipment from every major company (Agilent, Empirix, Ixia, Spirent)

## Importance of Interoperability

**Plug-and-play operation independent of who provided the product; **
**works with the user’s environment and applications**

- Bridges creation and deployment
- Provides uncompromised third-party validation
- Decreases R&D and support costs
- Accelerates time to market
- Promotes market acceptance of new technologies

## IPv6 Testing Programs

**Focused IPv6 testing since 1996**
**Product Verification**
**Increased customer confidence**
- Neutral 3rd party reports verify the functionality of devices
**Professional Services**
- Network Integration Projects
- Custom Test Development
- Technology Demonstrations
**Enhanced Product Awareness**
- Hold industry wide group testing events
- Whitepapers and Press Releases

## IPv6 Ready Logo ProgramNorth American Representative

- Responsibilities Include:
- Review N. American applications and results
- Cross-check results between labs
- Currently perform the following testing as service:
- Phase-1 Base Conformance, Interoperability
- Phase-2 Base Conformance, Interoperability
- Phase-2 IPsec Conformance, Interoperability
- Phase-2 IKEv1 Conformance, Interoperability
- Phase-2 DHCPv6 Conformance, Interoperability

## IPv6 Ready Logo Holders

- IOL helped the following achieve the IPv6 Ready Logo

## Moonv6 Network Project

- A collaborative effort led by the North American IPv6 Task Force with
- The UNH Interoperability Lab
- The U.S. Government's Department of Defense Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC)
- Commercial service providers
- The project has 2 aspects
- An overlay network on which applications can be shared and end to end testing is performed
- Lab-based testing of vendor products
- IPv6 deployment testing defined by network operators
- Industry updates that demonstrate the current capabilities of IPv6
