Introduction to the IPv6 Test Pod
The IPv6 Test Pod is a small, inexpensive device that offers a series of test networks for users to test their applications:
- Dual Stack (IPv4 + IPv6)
- IPv6 only with no access to IPv4
- IPv6 Only with access to IPv4 through DNS64 and NAT64
- IPv6 Only with access to IPv4 through 464XLAT and NAT64
These devices will come at no cost to an application. IPv6 Tunnel termination is provided as part of this project by Internet2.
Who is this intended for?
This project
- Software developers wanting to test their software against IPv6-only networks.
- IT support personnel wanting to test systems and software they support in IPv6-only networks.
- Network Engineers wanting to test IPv6-only networks and IPv6-only transition technologies such as 464XLAT.
How can I get one?
The application form is coming soon.
Sign up to the announce mailing list for updates.
What happens when you run out of hardware?
If hardware runs out, we want to look at ways to distribute a VM image participants can run or an OS image that can be flashed to hardware purchased by the user.
Is there a cost?
There is no cost; This is made possible by the ARIN Community Grant program.
