This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF. Title : Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6 Author(s) : R. Gilligan, S. Thomson, J. Bound, W. Stevens Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-bsd-api-new-04.txt Pages : 33 Date : 12-Nov-98 The de facto standard application program interface (API) for TCP/IP applications is the 'sockets' interface. Although this API was developed for Unix in the early 1980s it has also been implemented on a wide variety of non-Unix systems. TCP/IP applications written using the sockets API have in the past enjoyed a high degree of portability and we would like the same portability with IPv6 applications. But changes are required to the sockets API to support IPv6 and this memo describes these changes. These include a new socket address structure to carry IPv6 addresses, new address conversion functions, and some new socket options. These extensions are designed to provide access to the basic IPv6 features required by TCP and UDP applications, including multicasting, while introducing a minimum of change into the system and providing complete compatibility for existing IPv4 applications. Additional extensions for advanced IPv6 features (raw sockets and access to the IPv6 extension headers) are defined in another document [4]. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.

This draft is a work item of the Next Generation Transition Working Group of the IETF. Title : Network Address Translation - Protocol Translation (NAT-PT] Author(s) : G. Tsirtsis, P. Srisuresh Filename : draft-ietf-ngtrans-natpt-03.txt Pages : 22 Date : 09-Nov-98 This document specifies a transition mechanism in addition to those already specified in [TRANS]. The new mechanism provides an end-to-end solution to allow IPv6-only hosts to communicate with IPv4-only hosts and vice versa using Network Address Translation and Protocol Translation. The scheme described does not require du- al-stack hosts; nor does it mandate any routing related changes on the hosts. The scheme is based on a combination of address transla- tion theme as described in [NAT] and V6/V4 protocol translation theme as described in [SIIT]. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

Jung Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-6over4-00.txt Pages : 9 Date : 29-Oct-98 This memo specifies the frame format for transmission of IPv6 [IPV6] packets and the method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses over IPv4 domains. It also specifies the content of the Source/Target Link- layer Address option used in the Router Solicitation, Router Advertisement, Neighbor Solicitation, and Neighbor Advertisement and Redirect messages, when those messages are transmitted on an IPv4 network. The motivation for this method is to allow isolated IPv6 hosts, located on a physical link which has no directly connected IPv6 router, to become fully functional IPv6 hosts by using an IPv4 domain that supports IPv4 multicast as their virtual local link. It uses IPv4 multicast as a 'virtual Ethernet.' Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address.

IPv6 on CISCO IOS 12.x
by Patrick Grossetete 23 Oct '98

23 Oct '98

Dear Bernhard, As being in charge of Cisco EMEA IPv6 Technology program, I would like to clarify your statment below. It is true that today Cisco is providing in Europe, a Cisco IOS image supporting IPv6 currently based on IOS 11.3.(2)T to selected customers from academic and ISP sites under Non Disclosure Agreement. But so far, we don't expect to provide general availability of IPv6 for production network before sometimes in CY99. This will be based on Cisco IOS 12.0T but certainly not for IOS 12.0.(1)T. We may also have an easier access for the same selected customers through our web but we are still finalizing it. If you have a special need for our current IPv6 image and you are based in Europe which is obviously the case, you may send me an e-mail.
