IP Networking News

The move to Internet Protocol Version 6 addresses has been underway for a number of years, as the world exhausted the supply of IPv4 internet addresses . The momentum in software-defined networking and the internet of things is driving faster adoption of IPv6 — and the need for testing of devices to ensure that they can be successfully deployed in IPv6 environments, according to Tim Winters, the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab’s senior executive for software and IP...

DURHAM, N.H., July 12, 2018 – The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of broad-based testing and standards conformance services for the networking industry, today announced expanded testing capabilities that meet the requirements outlined in the newly released update to the USGv6 profile, a test program designated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that provides proof of compliance to IPv6 specifications and increases user confidence in the interoperability of common network products....

In January this year, the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab (UNH-IOL) moved into a new building, allowing the UNH-IOL to better monitor the building systems including HVAC and the backup power generator. As a networking lab, we are always looking for ways to automate our systems to reduce the need for human intervention and maintenance.

This interconnecting of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and embedded devices is the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT doesn’t just apply to a world...

The service aims to provide a competitive advantage by enabling emerging IoT companies to validate their devices through trusted, third-party interoperability testing.

The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) in the US has introduced an Internet of Things (IoT) product testing service specific to home environments, industrial networks, smart cities and connected cars.

The group said the Internet Protocol (IP) testing services will help improve IoT interoperability, reduce time-to-market and enhance customer experience....
