The Parisian Academic Network (RAP) announced today its selection of 6WIND’s access router solution, the 6WINDGateä 6200 series, to build a native IPv6 network, offering IPv6 VLAN (virtual local area network) access to its connecting sites. This means, effective January 2004, the Parisian academic community from over 100 sites will have a dedicated broadband access to the new generation internet, linked to the French National Educational Network, RENATER, for carrying out research and development in a dual protocol environment, IPv4 and IPv6. | ||
| The network will offer seamless interoperability benefits to end-users who are in either Internet environment. This total transparency for the end-user will facilitate further innovations and tests built around the richer functionalities of IPv6, especially enabling end-to-end security, enhanced mobility and nomadic applications as well as wireless applications.
The complete press release is available here. |
