Applications

I installed a few IPv6-enabled applications, such as Apache Web Server, Bind 9, and FTP and Telnet servers. To find current information about IPv6 applications, look at the IPv6 Forum homepage at http://www.ipv6forum.org. Click on the left side button for Implementations and choose IPv6 Applications. Another reference site for IPv6 application information is http://www.ipv6.org/v6-apps.html. There are HTTP servers and clients, Telnet and FTP applications, chat and email software, firewalls, monitoring tools, and patch links. At http://www.hs247.com, you can also find a lot of useful information about IPv6 implementations on different operating systems, as well as IPv6-enabled applications for each operating system—enough to spend quite some time in your lab. And don’t forget to send me some trace files.

The IPv6 Technology Preview for Windows 2000 and the Windows XP IPv6 stack contain a set of sample applications that you can use to experiment with IPv6-based traffic beyond the use of standard connection diagnostic tools such as ping6 and tracert6. The following applications are provided:

HTTP client

The new Internet extensions dynamic link library (DLL), Wininet.dll, provides IPv6 capability so that Windows-based Internet browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, can make connections to both IPv4 and IPv6 web servers.

FTP client

The new FTP client, Ftp.exe, is capable of establishing FTP sessions with IPv4 and IPv6 FTP servers.
