IPv6 Basic Requirements (IPv6 Specification, ICMPv6, PMTU, ND)

I1-Interoperability: IPv6 Basic Requirements-v1.2

Applicable Profile: NIST SP 500-267 A profile for IPv6 in the U.S. Government - Version 1.0, July 2008.

Configuration Option: None 

Test Specification Id:

[ Core-Interoperability] IPv6 Ready Interoperability Specification Core Protocols, Version 4.0.5, September 2018, 

[editor: IPv6 Ready Logo ].

Interoperability Partner Requirements:

Any host or router claiming compliance with the USGv6 profile MUST demonstrate evidence of interoperability with three or more independent

implementations of IPv6. The three implementations must include at least one Host and at least one Router.

Can not change Target nodes once testing has begun.

If your Device Under Test (DUT) Type is Host:

DUT = TAR-Host1 for all tests.

TAR-Host2 = Independent Implementation Device B

TAR-Router1 = Independent Implementation Device C

Third Interoperability Partner is satisfied by executing the test specification again using the following:

TAR-Router1 = Independent Implementation Device D

If your Device Under Test (DUT) Type is Router :

DUT = TAR-Router1 for all tests.

TAR-Host1 = Independent Implementation Device B

TAR-Router2 = Independent Implementation Device C

Third Interoperability Partner is satisfied by executing the test specification again using the following:

TAR-Host1 = Independent Implemenation Device D
