DURHAM, NEW HAMPSHIRE and TOKYO and BEIJING and LUXEMBOURG — (Marketwire) — 09/07/11 — The IPv6 Forum launches the son of Moonv6, , which was initiated by Jim Bound (2009) back in 2004 as the largest permanently deployed, multi-vendor IPv6 network in the world, and led by the and the (UNH-IOL), , vendors, service providers and regional IPv6 Forum Task Force network pilots worldwide.
In the memory of Jim Bound, this project will be called BOUNDv6. Jim in his interview with NetworkWorld back in 2004 had the vision and the audacity to make big things happen:
The goal of the BOUNDv6 network is to create a permanent multi-vendor network environment connecting initially IPv6 Ready Logo approved labs and USG approved labs where the community can test IPv6 enabled applications and devices in meaningful test scenarios which will form the base of the NEW INTERNET.
BOUNDv6 is targeted at Government and critical networks, Enterprise, ISPs and Apps Developers. The biggest challenge will be that all implementations will be encouraged to have security built-in on all test cases.
BOUNDv6 is supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the US Government Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN).
