Verio announced the availability of the first large-scale IPv6 commercial service in North America. The NTT/VERIO IPv6 Gateway Services, which are delivered over the newly upgraded NTT/VERIO Global IP Network, consists of three different solutions:
- IPv6 Native Service, which offers customers a dedicated IPv6 connection,
- IPv6 Tunneling Service, which uses an existing IPv4 connection, and
- IPv6 Dual Stack Service, which delivers a balance of both native and tunneling services.
Verio's IPv6 service offers many of the same features as IPv4 connectivity, including fixed or burstable bandwidth, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Domain Name System (DNS). Additional future enhancements will allow customers to benefit from many features exclusive to IPv6, including augmented VPN capabilities. Unlike IPv4, enhanced capabilities allow for full integration of the IPsec framework in IPv6.
Verio said it has seen interest in its IPv6 Gateway Services from downstream ISPs, universities, research institutions, next generation application providers and organizations that focus on wireless technologies.
