Spirent Communications, which designs computer network testing equipment in Honolulu, has joined several other high-tech companies in testing new protocols that one day will upgrade the Internet. The project is called Moonv6, the largest multi-vendor IPv6 network to date. | ||
| IPv6 refers to version 6 of the Internet protocol, the fundamental rules by which data packets are transmitted and handled on computer networks. New protocol rules could lead to better prioritization of packets, smart routing, and improved security. The Defense Department intends to move its Global Information Grid to IPv6 by 2008.
