NIST IPv6 Profile to Detail U.S. Federal Requirements

Jason Miller writes on GCN.com:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology will release the federal government’s Internet Protocol version 6 profile by the end of the month to help agencies and vendors understand the government’s technical requirements.

Peter Tseronis, the Education Department’s director of network services and co-chairman of the IPv6 working group, yesterday said the NIST profile will be out for public comment for about a month and then NIST will issue the first version of the profile.

The profile, which will be released in the Federal Register, recommends a technology acquisition approach for common IPv6 devices, Tseronis said.
