The IPv6 Ready Logo Committee would like to announce that applications received on or after July 1, 2013 will be assessed a $500 US dollar examination fee. The Examination lab may choose to waive this fee if the test results were performed at an approved lab as the fee may be covered under testing service fees. We will announce more details later.

The IPv6 Ready Logo Committee would like to announce that the MLDv2 logo program will be moving to experimental on December 1st, 2012.
The test specifications and test tools will be left on the website for vendor use, however the tools will not be supported by the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee.
Supplementary information: The MLDv2 Logo (Experimental) will be a short term measure. The IPv6 Ready Logo Committee is currently working on the MLDv2 Logo and will consider the resumption of the logo in the near future.
The IPsec Conformance Specification and Interoperability Scenario have undergone a Major Revision. The documents are under public review and dry run with a planned release on November 15, 2012. The updated test documents can be found here.
The IPv6 Ready Logo Committee would like to announce that the IKEv2 logo program will be moving to experimental on November 1st, 2012.
The test specifications and test tools will be left on the website for vendor use, however the tools will not be supported by the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee.

Global IPv6 Transition InterOp Event
12 – 15, November, 2012 , Beijing
The China IPv6 Council, the BII Group, in co-operation with ETSI, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute and the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory, will host the 1st Global IPv6 Transition Interop Event in November 12-15, 2012 in Beijing. This 4-days Interop event will evaluate the status of vendor support for the various methods of transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 networks. This event is supported by the IPv6 Forum and the Broadband Forum (BBF).
“Testing transition mechanisms for interoperability is a non-trivial issue” states Latif Ladid, President, IPv6 Forum
“We should have a clear vision on the process and maturity of IPv6 transition for both ISPs and Governments” states Liu Dong, Chair China IPv6 Council and Chair IPv6 enabled Program
“Planning for transition is not enough. ETSI has long recognised the necessity of testing and validation, and devotes significant resources to this through its Plugtests interoperability program.” states Anthony Wiles, Director of ETSI’s Centre for Testing and Interoperability
“This first global IPv6 transition interop event is aimed at validating the different transition mechanisms we have in our tools box and to ensure that these mechanisms do provide the best transition experience for the end user. This is a fundamental step towards global IPv6 deployment.” Says Yanick Pouffary General Chairperson for the IPv6 Logo Programs (Ready & Enabled & Education), IPv6 Forum Fellow and NAv6TF Technology Director.
”It is now time to test our knowledge, skills and transition plans. This next step is important for deployments worldwide as the greatest IPv6 thought leaders in testing come together.” states Erica Johnson, Director, UNH-IOL, IPv6 Ready Logo Regional Officer, IPv6 Forum Fellow, USA
Several methods exist for transitioning between IPv4 and IPv6 networks, such as DS-lite, 6Rd, CGN, IVI, Public 4over6, PNAT etc. This event will focus on testing these methods in end to end configurations. The event will attract network equipment vendors, networking specialists and ISPs who are in the process of transitioning their networks to IPv6.
The goal of this event is to verify the maturity and readiness of IPv6 transition technologies and to promote the transition and adoption of IPv6 worldwide.
More information about this event will be published at http://www.ipv6enabled.cn/.

The IPv6 Ready Logo Committee would like to announce that the MIPv6, NEMO, IMS and SIP logo programs are moving to experimental. We will no longer accept logo applications for MIPv6, NEMO, IMS and SIP after March 1, 2012.
The test specifications and test tools will be left on the website for vendor use, however the tools will not be supported by the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee.
The MIPv6 Logo holders will remain public on the IPv6 Ready Logo Program Approved List. There are currently no logo holders for NEMO, IMS or SIP.
