This product version introduces selective support for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). IPv6 is the next evolution in Internet Protocol beyond the IPv4 standard currently in use in most networks today. IPv6 client workload now can be distributed to back end application servers, and proxy server support is extended to new IPv6 clients and servers.
The key IPv6 enhancement is the expansion of the IP address space from 32 bits to 128 bits, enabling virtually unlimited IP addresses. This addressing capability, along with new functions enabling end-to-end security, improved mobility support, simplified address configuration and management, make IPv6 a critical component in the evolution of e-business and the next generation Internet.
The new IPv6 network support extends Load Balancer to IPv6 clients, enabling their workload to be distributed to back end WebSphere application servers for increased flexibility. With proxy server support for IPv6 clients and upstream server connections, you get added network reach and flexibility. For details, see the Edge Component documentation.
