[I also noticed last week that one commercial ISP announced that they will
  begin offering native IPv6 connectivity and routing over their network
                                                                  Morrow]

CISCO AIMS FOR IPV6 FIREWALLS

Posted June 27, 2003 4:44 PM Pacific Time


Attacking one of the key problems early adopters have had
with IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), Cisco plans to
beef up security, adding support for stateful packet
filtering of IPv6 traffic to its software and hardware
firewall products in the first half of next year.

The dominant maker of Internet routers, also a major vendor
of firewalls, provided that statement of direction at the
North American IPv6 Global Summit, held this week in San
Diego. Cisco demonstrated the filtering capability in its
IOS (Internetwork Operating System) firewall at the
conference, said Patrick Grossetete, Cisco IOS IPv6 product
manager, in an interview from the conference.
