NOTE: The HP-UX 11i v3 IPv6Upgrade depot contains the following prerequisite
patches:
• PHNE_37899 Transport patch
• PHNE_37257 STREAMS patch
• PHCO_38048 libc patch
• PHNE_38153 inetd patch
If your HP-UX 11i v3 system already contains patches that are later than the prerequisite
patches, the prerequisite patches will not be installed.
The subsequent sections discuss the IPv6 features in various versions of the IPv6Upgrade
bundle.
Support for RFC 3542 (Advanced Sockets API for IPv6)
This release of IPv6 updates the HP-UX implementation of advanced sockets API for IPv6
from RFC 2292 (Advanced Sockets API for IPv6) to RFC 3542.
Configurable Policy Table Support
This release of IPv6 supports the configurable policy table specified in RFC 3484 (Default
Address Selection for IPv6). A new command ip6addrpol and a configuration file
/etc/rc.config.d/ip6addrpol.conf are introduced to support the policy table
configuration. For more information on how to configure the policy table, see
“Configurable Policy Table for Default Address Selection for IPv6” (page 30) .
Anycast Address Support
This release of IPv6 supports anycast address specified in RFC 4291 (IPv6 Addressing
Architecture). For more information on anycast address support, see “Configuring Anycast
Addresses” (page 26).
Support for RFC 4291 (IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture)
RFC 4291 defines the addressing architecture of the IP Version 6 (IPv6) protocol. The
B.11.31.0809 release of IPv6 updates the HP-UX implementation of IPv6 addressing
architecture from RFC 2373 (IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture) to RFC 4291.
NOTE: Anycast address support is not available in the B.11.31.0809 release of IPv6.
It is available in the B.11.31.0907 release of IPv6.
Support for RFC 4213 (Basic Transition Mechanisms for IPv6 Hosts and Routers)
RFC 4213 specifies mechanisms that IPv6 hosts and routers can employ to interoperate
with IPv4 hosts and routers while utilizing the existing IPv4 routing infrastructure. The
B.11.31.0809 release of IPv6 updates the HP-UX implementation of IPv6 addressing
