EBSnets Dual Network Stack incorporates key attributes of the current industry-standard
Internet Protocol (IPv4), and expands utility and crucial functionality for the next generation of
Internet-enabled embedded devices (IPv6). Since IPv4 and IPv6 headers are not
interoperable, EBSnets dual stack offers a unique and flexible combination of networking
support for devices that must operate in todays IPv4 based networks and yet be compatible
with future upgrades to IPv6 environments. The dual stack handles both IPv4 and IPv6
networking traffic in a seamless and efficient manner.
The 128-bit address space that IPv6 uses increases the number of available IP addresses
to 342 trillion, trillion, trillion. This will allow businesses to deploy a great array of new
embedded network devices in a cost effective, managed manner.
The advanced auto
configuration features will allow automatic attachment of these devices to the network
without the costs of manual configuration.
IPv6 also addresses the security shortcomings of IPv4 with a protocol level enhancement
called IP Security (IPSec). This feature offers robust authentication and strong packet
encryption that protects the origin, destination and packet contents over the IP layer. This
feature will become increasingly important as on-line financial transactions become more
commonplace.
NETWORKING SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED DEVELOPERS
The IPv4/IPv6 networking stack provides support for most 16-32 bit processors and can be
ported to any CPU or RTOS using the easy to use porting layer. Drop-in solutions are
available for several of the most popular operating systems and microprocessors including
PowerPC, PowerQUICC II, MPC5200, Coldfire, ARM, XScale, Mitsubishi, SH8 and MIPS.
