Verio Expands IPv6 Managed Services in North America

Verio, a subsidiary of NTT Communications, is expanding its IPv6 services in North America with several new offerings:

  • Managed Router Service, which provides customer support for end user hardware devices. Verio ensures that IPv6-enabled devices meet network objectives at the fault management, configuration, accounting, performance and security levels.


  • NxT1 support, which enables multiple T1 connections to simultaneously carry traffic to and from a customer's site.


  • Shadow Service backup, which offers customers an added layer of redundancy for their primary Internet connection in the event of a failure.


  • Frame Relay support in the IPv6 Gateway, for companies that need frame connections from fractional T1 through full T3 speeds.


NTT/VERIO IPv6 Gateway Services, delivered over the newly upgraded NTT/VERIO Global IP Network, consists of three different solutions: IPv6 Native Service offers customers a dedicated IPv6 connection, while IPv6 Tunneling Service uses an existing IPv4 connection. The third solution, IPv6 Dual Stack Services, delivers a balance of both native and tunneling services. Verio has been testing and deploying IPv6 Gateway Services for a diverse group of organizations, including technology companies, universities and research institutions. http://www.verio.com/access/ipv6.cfm
