Engaging with IPv6: addresses for all

Abstract

This paper discusses the deployment of IPv6 on a dual IPv4/IPv6 network stack running Scientific Linux 5 specifically for Grid computing. The focus of this research is on the deployment of this protocol within a Tier-2 environment embedded within a University Campus network. This paper describes the setup requirements of the hosts and network and discusses some of the advantages and limitations of the preferred deployment at the Glasgow Scotgrid test cluster as part of the wider HEPIX IPv6 programme [1].
