Government Computer News reports on the recent IPv6 Special Interoperability Certification of the Linux kernel. "The Linux kernel has been brought into full compliance with the Defense Information System Agency's IPv6 Special Interoperability Certification, the Linux Foundation announced this week. As a result, all Linux distributions that use the latest kernel and enhancements should be able to pass certification. In 2007, the Defense Department's Office of the Chief Information Officer and the chief assistant secretary of Defense for networks and information integration developed an IPv6 Master Test Plan to ensure all DOD equipment using IPv6 would be able to interoperate."
