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.

This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF. Title : A method for flexible IPv6 address assignments Author(s) : M. Blanchet Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-ipaddressassign-00.txt Pages : 4 Date : 22-Oct-98 This draft presents a method for assigning IP address prefixes that enables the IP assigning autority - the organisation that assigns IP address prefixes to other organisations, like a registry to an internet service provider or an internet service provider to a client organisation connected to its network -to postpone the final decision of prefix length by keeping space between assigned bits of the different parts of the IP address. This enables the assigning autority to change the different part lengths of the prefix (TLA (top level aggregator), subTLA, NLA(next-level aggregator) SLA (site-level aggregator), ...) even after allocated spaces. This scheme is applicable to both IPv4 and IPv6 but is envisionned mainly for IPv6 where the address space is larger and more flexible. It is a generalization of RFC1219 and can be used for IPv6 assignments based on RFC2373 and RFC2374. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

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.

I do not know if cisco announced this on an official list - but I got the information about a new Version of their IOS supporting IPv6 in a "public" release with no beta-status. The new IOS 12.0 will be out in mid-november.

Stevens Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-bsd-api-new-03.txt Pages : 33 Date : 19-Oct-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.
