The documents are under public review and dry run through Monday 24th May 2020 with a planned release on May 31, 2020.
Summary of Changes:
The updated test documents can be found on the Public Review Page.
The IPv6 Ready Logo Committee would like to announce several major changes to the IPv6 Ready Logo Program in order to promote IPv6 deployment with a new Core Release 5.0.0.
As IPv6 deployments continue to rise it is important that devices operate in IPv6-only environments without any IPv4 being used for the device to function. Testing for the IPv6 Ready Logo 5.0.0 must be completed in an IPv6-only environment. This is defined as is that IPv4 will not be provisioned or available to the device under test. To ensure testing is done properly in this environment the Logo Committee is now requiring that all IPv6 Ready Logo testing be done in an IPv6 Ready Logo lab and thus will not accept applications for self-test for 5.0.0 after May 30th.
Devices applying for the IPv6 Ready Core Logo must enable IPv6 by default in order to
receive it. Applicants must agree to this by selecting the following statement on the application.
"The device must have IPv6 on and enabled on all IP interfaces by default. In the case of a router,
it must have IPv6 enabled interfaces used for management and configuration purposes."
If a device is reported for not having IPv6 enabled by default it will be removed from the IPv6 Ready Logo listing.
The IPv6 Ready Logo is Updated!
IPv6 Ready Core Logo is Updated to 5.0.0 which includes support for RFC 8200.
Results from IPv6 Ready Core 4.0.8 may be submitted until May 31, 2020.

Please send any comments in English to ipv6ready-info [a t] ipv6ready.org.
DURHAM, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of broad-based testing and standards conformance services for the networking industry, announced today that four customer edge (CE) routers have been approved for the IPv6 Ready CE Router Logo. Devices from Broadcom, Netgear and ZTE passed the necessary IPv6 test cases, enabling them to bear a mark established by the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee (v6LC). The IPv6 Ready Logo indicates to service providers that IPv6 will work on those models, allowing end users to utilize the new addressing service. Total IPv6 traffic increased dramatically in July 2015, when the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) reported that North America had exhausted its IPv4 addresses. As consumer Internet of Things (IoT) technologies gain traction, a trend on display at CES 2016, IPv6 traffic is expected to continue rising.

PRESS RELEASE
Is Your CPE IPv6 Ready?
NEW: IPv6 Ready CE ROUTER Logo Program
Tokyo/Boston/Luxembourg – March 19, 2014 – The IPv6 Forum and its worldwide organization the IPv6 Ready Logo Committee officially announces the launch of the Interoperability testing of the IPv6 Ready CE Router Logo Program.
The IPv6 Forum has been running the IPv6 Ready Logo Program since 2003 when the Phase I Program was launched focusing on mainstream Interoperability. In 2005, the Phase II Program was kicked off moving to richer interoperability.
Recently, this activity has been watched closely by the various standards and certification organizations including government certification authorities around the world. The number of tested and approved devices is strongly increasing. At the end of 2013, the number of Phase-II approved devices had exceeded 1000 tested and approved devices showing an exponential curve.
The IPv6 Forum has recognized the need for the last mile interoperability testing of the highly diverse CE Router market to mature the offering and meet the new demand for higher quality IPv6 CPE products from the end users.
The IPv6 Ready Logo Committee is an international Task Force chaired by Hiroshi Esaki, technically supported by Erica Johnson at UNH-IOL in the U.S. and Hiroshi Miyata of the TAHI organization in Japan.
“IPv6 hits the last mile. So, get your CPE tested to speak v6 and refresh your end-user Internet access ! ” said Latif Ladid, IPv6 Forum President.
“As IPv6 deployment in the home increases, it is essential for CE Router devices to conform to the standards and prove interoperability. The addition of this IPv6 Ready Logo will provide a higher level of confidence and reduce barriers for rolling out support for IPv6,” states Erica Johnson, Director, UNH-IOL, IPv6 Ready Logo Regional Officer, IPv6 Forum Fellow, USA
“The IPv6 ready CE Router logo along with existing IPv6 ready logos delivers the seal of compliance and interoperability required for IPv6 enabled equipment. This newest logo breaks down that last barrier to IPv6 enablement in the home and enables to get equipment which can meet the need to seamless deployment of IPv6 in the home.” Says Yanick Pouffary General Chairperson for the IPv6 Logo Programs (Ready & Enabled & Education),
“When we see the number of IPv6 Ready Logo winners, the winners increase constantly and even accelerate. This means the readiness of equipment is getting better, day-by-day. I expect and believe the launch of CE Router logo accelerate the deployment of IPv6 with professional quality.” states Hiroshi Esaki, Chairman of the IPv6 Logo Committee, and Executive Director of IPv6 Promotion Council Japan and Board member of WIDE Project.

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/.

As there are few DHCPv6 client implemetations which satisfy the IPv6 Ready Logo DHCPv6 Interoperability requirements, BII has developed a patch for Dibbler.
IPv6 Ready Phase-2 Core Test Specification is consistent with US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#472363.
US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#472363 mentioned to block NS with illogical source addresses. And the procedure in the test specification never sends such NS.
Against this vulnerability, some implementations simply blocks not only the NS but also the NA. Depending on this wrong fix, the implementation fails some tests listed below.
Test v6LC.2.3.1: Redirected On-link: Valid (Hosts Only)
Part A
In the test procedure for these tests, the implementation will receive a NA whose source address has a different prefix from the prefix assigned to the implementation. But this situation can happen also in the real network.
If the implementaion evaluates such packets in conjunction with on-link determination, the implementation will also be consistent with the RFC.
