Application Support for IPv6 Addressing

Many critical Solaris network services recognize and support IPv6 addresses, for example:

• Name services, such as DNS, LDAP, and NIS. For more information on IPv6 support by these name services, see System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP).

• Authentication and privacy applications, such as IP Security Architecture (IPsec) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE). For more information, see Part III, IP Security.

• Differentiated services, as provided by IP Quality of Service (IPQoS). For more information, see Part IV, IP Quality of Service (IPQoS).

• Failover detection, as provided by IP network multipathing (IPMP). For more information, see Failure and Repair Detection in IPMP in System Administration Guide: Network Interfaces and Network Virtualization.
