44thth IPv6 Task Force Meeting IPv6 Task Force MeetingIPv6 Roadmap RecommendationsIPv6 Roadmap Recommendations

Approved recommendations:

….The requirement for IPv6 implies a need for coordinated trials and tests …. – which are more likely to succeed via both harmonisation of standards and readily available interoperability events (such as those offered by ETSI). ….

European Industry is called to: … Support and fully participate in interoperability events

organised notably by ETSI, … …
