Introduction

According to the Notice on Accelerating the Scale Deployment and Application of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), in order to speed up the solution of network equipment In order to address the security deficiencies of IPv6 and promote the standardization of IPv6 large-scale deployment and application innovations, China has formulated a series of IPv6 application standards.

Among them, GB/T 46240 "IPv6 Network Equipment Security Technical Requirements and Test Methods" is to standardize and guide the smooth deployment of IPv6 in China.

The standards formulated to facilitate the implementation of the project are planned to consist of two parts.

— Part 1: Routers. The purpose is to propose and standardize the development and application of IPv6 security for routers.

— Part 2: Switches. The purpose is to propose and standardize the development and application of IPv6 security on switches.

Security Technical Requirements and Testing Methods for IPv6 Network Equipment Part 1: Router
