Codenomicon TCP Test Tool for IPv6 Data Sheet
- Test tool: Codenomicon TCP Test Tool for IPv6
- Direction: Server
- Tagline: Dependability and Reliability for the Next-Generation Internet
Codenomicon IPv6 Test Tools help software developers, testers and administrators search and eliminate security-related flaws in Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) protocol implementations proactively and cost-effectively. Early elimination of bugs with security implications greatly reduces costs later on in the software lifecycle. Proactive testing will help improve the quality and reliability of your IPv6 products and promote customer trust.
Internet Protocol (IP) is the most important communications protocol in the world today. Estimates show that up to 800-900 million people depend on the current IP Version 4 for their daily communications needs. IPv6, the successor of IPv4, is rapidly becoming more and more widespread, and it is expected that all IPv4 nodes will eventually migrate to use IPv6. IPv6 implementations are already found in routers, switches, firewalls, desktop and server systems, laptops, PDAs, cell phones and other mobile systems, as well as a large number of embedded systems. All of these devices are vulnerable to exploitation through externally-supplied malformed protocol data. Effects of malicious data range from transient parsing errors to complete system takeovers. As IPv6 and its common associated protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP, MLD) are beginning to be in an extremely crucial role in modern society, the dependability and reliability of IPv6 implementations must be verified. Codenomicon IPv6 Test Tools are sold in a bundle, with separate test tools for TCP, UDP, ICMPv6, and core IPv6.
