Hitachi Ltd and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co, Ltd have decided on a standard they will promote for Internet-linked consumer electronics adopting IPv6 technology with a view to improving their connectivity. | ||
| Hitachi and Matsushita announced in May 2001 a policy on joint development of IPv6, and the latest announcement is considered to be one of the achievements under the business alliance toward that end.
As another achievement related to the joint project, the two companies have developed a means to process the IPv6 protocol with home appliances incorporating microcomputers. Portions of the protocol processing will be handled by coprocessors. This system is said to speed up the processing by more than 10 times as compared with regular software processing by microcomputers. Read the complete info here. |
