Standards

• core IPv6 specifications are IETF Draft Standards => well-tested & stable

  • IPv6 base spec, ICMPv6, Neighbor Discovery, PMTU Discovery, IPv6-over-Ethernet, IPv6-over-PPP,...

• other important specs are further behind on the standards track, but in good shape

  • mobile IPv6, header compression,...
  • for up-to-date status: playground.sun.com/ipng

• 3GPP UMTS Release 5 cellular wireless standards mandate IPv6; also being considered by 3GPP2
