ruphus13 points out news from the Linux Foundation, which announced that
[0]all major Linux distributions meet certification requirements for the
US Department of Defense’s IPv6 mandates. The announcement [1]credits
work done by the IPv6 Workgroup, whose members include IBM, HP,
Nokia-Siemens, Novell and Red Hat. Quoting: “Linux has had relatively
robust IPv6 support since 2005, but further work was needed for the open
source platform to achieve full compliance with DoD standards. The Linux
Foundation’s IPv6 workgroup analyzed the DoD certification requirements
and identified key areas where Linux’s IPv6 stack needed adjustments in
order to guarantee compliance. They collaboratively filled in the gaps
and have succeeded in bringing the shared technology into alignment with
the DoD’s standards.”
