37 .Nd introduction and roadmap to KAME IPv6 software package
40 software package is a result of joint work of several IPv6 researchers
41 in Japan, to provide reference implementation of IPv6 to
42 Berkeley Software Distribution
44 derived system such as
51 (in alphabetical order).
53 .\" Package consists of set of patches and additions to kernel,
54 .\" modification to application, daemons, header files and libraries.
55 KAME kit consists of IPv6/IPsec-ready kernel, application, daemons,
56 header files and libraries.
58 Following are some of highlights of this implementation.
60 Note: features not yet integrated into
69 IPv6 and IPsec protocol stacks are implemented and available.
70 See below for conformance to standards and/or internet drafts.
72 .Ss Plug and Play and protocol stack/interface configuration
84 .Ss Multicast (includes routing and utilities)
93 Two IPv4 to IPv6 transition tools are available.
94 TCP relay translator, FAITH
96 and SIIT IPv6-to-v4 header translator implementation
99 is not yet integrated into
104 .Ss IPsec and tunnelling
107 .\" (dtcp and racoon doesn't exist yet.)
113 Dozen of existing tools are modified for IPsec support, like
116 .Ss Utilities/Diagnosis
122 Dozen of existing utilities are modified for IPv6/IPsec support, like
127 .Ss Application Daemons
129 modified for IPv4/v6 support, or
134 Dozen of existing daemons are modified for IPv6/IPsec support, like
140 Although some of documentations have not modified yet, program itself
141 may be heavily modified.
142 Following lists are not complete, but give you some idea what kind of
143 new software modules are available, or, modifications are made.
144 Please refer to each manual page for detail.
