| Stonesoft Announces Support for IPv6 Stonesoft announces that its StoneGate Firewall, VPN and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) solutions will support IPv6. The first StoneGate IPv6 solutions are scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2008 in time to comply with the U.S. Federal Government's deadline that all of its agencies be IPv6 ready by June 30, 2008. IPv6 – the next generation Internet Protocol that has been under design and development for over 10 years – will increase the number of available addresses for Internet-enabled devices, delivering enhancements in security, quality of service, and auto-configuration capabilities. Yet global adoption has been slow due to the limited number of solutions supporting this protocol. With the U.S. Federal Government putting a stake in the ground, vendors – and their customers – are focused on meeting the deadline. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
