With backing from Microsoft looming on the horizon, IPv6 [Internet Protocol version 6] deployment got a shot in the arm this week from embedded OS player Wind River, which announced a network stack that supports the newest version of the Internet protocol. In September Wind River will ship WindNet IPv6, a collection of IPv6 networking stacks that runs on top of the operating system, giving its customers a "jump start" on building IPv6-enabled devices, said Glenn Flinchbaugh, director of marketing at Wind River's networks business unit. WindNet IPv6 will also include a TCP/IP stack.
