InterWorking Labs, developers of innovative products to measure, characterize, and debug next generation network devices in enterprise communications networks, today announced new features and capabilities in SilverCreek 7.3.
These new features include support for IPv6, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and SNMP performance testing. |

| SilverCreek 7.3 provides support for devices using the IPv6 transport and conforming to RFC 2452, 2454, 2465, and 2466. This includes all IPv6 address types (link-local, site-local and global). At the SNMP/Tcl API level, in SilverCreek, the snmptcl engine now supports IPv6 transparently with support at the IPv6 link local, site local and global address space as well as the host domain name.
The U.S. DoD requires "(as of) October 2003, all network capabilities purchased by DoD be both IPv6-capable and interoperable with the department's extensive IPv4 installed base." SilverCreek 7.3 provides a mechanism for manufacturers to test compliance with IPv6 and provides the Department of Defense a mechanism for evaluating conforming products prior to purchase and deployment on government networks.
