IPv6 protocol project

As a new protocol, IPv6 solves many limitations of the current protocol by increasing the number of possible IP addresses allocated to computers on the Internet and by insuring better robustness of the protocol. Security functions will also be integrated.

At a local , a national or an international level, the user can easily upgrade to IPv6, without any problem.

IPv6 on your company network
To help migrating to IPv6 on your organisation network, some mechanisms should be used to facilitate deployment. Viagénie had conceived a system that allows IPv6 address assignment and connectivity via IPv4 for any Internet connected system.

Canadian IPv6 network
Viagénie has deployed an IPv6 Canadian network on the Canarie network for universities and research centers. Moreover, a test bed had been set up on the IP network. This would allow an evaluation of IPv6 implementation under routers and plate-form environment.

International IPv6 tunnel server
Viagénie has set up on the Internet a server and different services that allow you to get IPv6 connectivity and a link toward 6Bone. This free service is available for FreeBSD, Windows NE, Linux and Cisco environments.

However, Viagénie, Canarie and ESNet will do an IPv6 exchange at StarTap, in Chicago.
