moonv6 post from ivancic <wivancic@grc.nasa.gov> Can anyone point me to a relatively mature, multi-user application that utilizes IPv6, IPsec, peer-to-peer and perhaps even multicast. Peer-to-peer would be good enough and may be preferred. An MS windows based solution or multi-OS based solution is preferred. White-boarding or something of that nature would be fine. Even secure group chat.

I am meeting with a rather high-level group to focused on what can be done right here, right now, as steps toward the much larger goal of enabling a NetCentric capability across the nation’s security and defense efforts. I thought I may suggest that each organization represented deploy an agreed upon application with ground rules such as:

IPv6 in corporate "operational" backbone - or at least a section of the corporate backbone
Tunneling allowed for second participate of corporation. Must use fully qualified domain names and DNS to located users. Workstation/Computer must be behind the corporate firewall.

This may appear easy at first, but it forces the issues of:

What is allowed through firewalls
Secure Peer-to-peer communications
Key/Identity distribution, key management and trust relationships Policy Issues of all sorts
Deployment of native IPv6 and transition mechanisms DNS deployment
The "real" capabilities of various operating systems and what needs to be done to get them to where they need to be. *** I suspect one would learn a lot about how one wants to go about deploying intrusion detection also. ;-O ***

Any help identifying an application or suggestions regarding ground rules or "what can be done right here, right now, as steps toward the much larger goal of enabling a NetCentric capability" are welcome.

Rest Regards,

Will Ivancic
