1.3 Implementing Novell IPv6

IPv6 on NetWare® enables the use of the IPv6 protocol natively over the NetWare server platform by NetWare applications like NDS®, Proxy, and Winsock. NetWare does this by using the IPv6 features that best suit Novell software. Also, IPv6 is used as a part of the existing TCP/IP stack and functions as an add-on component for TCP/IP.

The following RFCs are supported by the Novell IPv6 protocol:

• RFC 2460 - Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) Specification
• RFC 2461 - Neighbor Discovery for IPv6
• RFC 2462 - IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
• RFC 2463 - Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6)
• RFC 2464 - Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Ethernet Networks (Only EthernetII Format)
• RFC 2553 - Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6
• RFC 2373 - IPv6 Addressing Architecture
• RFC 2893 - Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers
