This document focuses on what is new in TOUR 2.0 from TOUR 1.0. TOUR 1.0 functionality

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/netcom/index.html#IPv6.

HP-UX Transport Enhancements (IPv4 and IPv6)

This section provides a summary of the HP-UX transport enhancements available with TOUR

2.0.

NOTE On HP-UX 11i v2, the IPv6 enhancements described in this section are

available as part of TOUR 2.0. All other IPv6 functionality is included by the

base (default) transport software included with HP-UX 11i v2.

• IPoIB (IP over InﬁniBand) Link Support: TOUR 2.0 provides transport support for

InﬁniBand links that support IPoIB. The TOUR 2.0 transport software support is

required for HP InﬁniBand links to run IPoIB.

The HP-UX networking utilities ifconfig, netstat, lanadmin, lanscan, arp, rtradvd

and ndp have all been enhanced to be capable of handling IPoIB-related data. (Note that

rarp has not been enhanced for handling IPoIB.)

For TOUR 2.0 on HP-UX 11i v2, IPoIB-support applies to both IPv4 and IPv6.

For more information on InﬁniBand and the IPoIB protocol, refer to the HP-UX

InﬁniBand Support Guide available at
