Test Results

Tests were also designed to verify the WAN side configuration, where a node supports protocols necessary to enable IPv6 deployment on multiple network access architectures.

Detailed test cases for this event were developed from the requirements designated as "MUST" and "SHOULD" in the IETF Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers.

Home routers successfully demonstrated support for a wide variety of existing IPv6 functions, as well as new features in anticipation of World IPv6 Launch. Functionality was tested for DHCPv6 clients, DHCPv6 servers, DHCPv6 prefix delegation, DNS, PMTU, and IPv6 routing.

It was noted during the event that there was an increase in implementations supporting DHCPv6 stateful servers on the LAN interfaces. This allows IPv6 devices on the LAN interface to use DHCPv6 to acquire an IPv6 address and DNS information.
