Mentor received the IPv6 interoperability approval for its Nucleus V.6 networking stack

Mentor Graphics has announced that it has received the IPv6 Ready Group Phase II interoperability approval (and logo) for Nucleus Internet Protocol (IP) Version 6 networking stack.

By upgrading Mentor's current IPv4 protocol with a compliant IPv6 stack, it provides improved scalability (IP address space), configuration ease, secured high-quality Internet connectivity, and ensured interoperability with other devices on an IP network, at low cost.

"Our Nucleus OS successfully met the standards required for IPv6 certification and we believe developers, consumers and service providers will realize the benefits in our highly-efficient technology," stated Glenn Perry, general manager of Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division. "The Nucleus OS is scalable and efficient in managing power, processor and memory usage, ideal for secure communications applications such as IPv6. As a result, this will inspire the development of new applications, services and end-products.
