Summary

This document provides the engineering-level definition of “IPv6 Capable” products necessary for interoperable use throughout the US Department of Defense (DoD).  This content has been synthesized from multiple sources including DoD policy statements, DoD Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR) requirements <3>, DoD IPv6 Transition Office (DITO) guidance <4><5> and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) published requirements.  The term “IPv6 Capable Product”, as used in this document, means any product that meets the minimum set of mandated requirements, appropriate to its Product Class, necessary for it to interoperate with other IPv6 products employed in DoD IPv6 networks.  Version 1.0 of this Standard Profiles document was approved by the DoD Information Standards Oversight Panel (ISOP) under the authority of the DoD CIO to “provide guidance to DoD Components and Services responsible for procuring/acquiring IPv6 Capable GIG products” <6>.  Final review and approval of this revision will be similarly documented.
