Routing Consortium offers VRRPv3 Interoperability Testing
May 7, 2014
VRRPv3 specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual router to one of the VRRPv3 routers on a LAN. The VRRPv3 router controlling the IP address(es) associated with a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets transmitted to these IP addresses. The election process provides dynamic fail over in the forwarding responsibility should the Master become unavailable. This allows any of the virtual router IP addresses on the LAN to be used as the default...

If you've read one of our technology prognostications before, you know the drill: we don't pick pie-in-the-sky projects as our hot data storage technologies. Rather we focus on the new, and newish, storage techs that we think are poised to have an impact on your shops in the coming year.
UNH Embraces New Internet Protocol
May 2, 2013
In recent years, the number of connected internet and network devices has exploded. Each of these devices require a unique identifier called an IP Address.

North American summit: IPv6 implementation still facing roadblocks
April 25, 2013
DENVER-- When it comes to IPv6, this much is clear: Fourteen years after the protocol was first deployed, progress has been made. But proponents readily concede they have a long way to go before the standard replaces IPv4 as the method of choice within ISPs and enterprise networks.
Testing home routers for World IPv6 launch
August 30, 2012
The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) hosted its fourth IPv6 Customer Edge (CE) Router Interoperability Test Event the week of April 16 at its facility in Durham, N.H., bringing together both users and suppliers of home router equipment. The goal was to gain perspective on the current status of IPv6 interoperability against the Internet Engineering Task Force's (IETF) Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers and support the Internet Society's (ISOC) World IPv6 Launch. Eight vendors -- Broadcom,...
