Why And How To Test IPv6 Interoperability Timothy Winters

Check out this podcast as we discuss why testing v6 is crucial, and look at interoperability initiatives including the USGv6 program, a NIST effort to spur v6 adoption. Topics discussed include:

  • Why IPv6 interoperability testing is important
  • What gets tested and why?
  • How IPv6-only deployments are impacting interoperability testing
  • How has IPv6 testing impacted overall deployment of IPv6
  • Why USGv6 has been critical to IPv6 adoption
  • Why IPv6-only is likely to happen sooner than expected
  • What should IPv6/IPv4 feature parity look like

Timing Challenges in the Smart Grid Jason Allnutt, Dhananjay Anand, Douglas Arnold, Allen Goldstein, Ya-Shian Li-Boboud, Aaron Martin, Cuong Nguyen, Bob Noseworthy, Ravi Subramaniam, Marc Weiss

Correct time and timing is one of the foundational elements in enabling the communication and orchestration of technologies for accurate and optimal wide area monitoring, protection and control (WAMPAC) in the power industry. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the International Electrical and Electronic Engineer-Standard Association (IEEE-SA) conducted a workshop to gather inputs from stakeholders to identify, analyze, and provide guidance on technologies, standards and methodologies for addressing the practical timing challenges that are currently being experienced in wide area time synchronization.

NIST TN1337: Characterization of Clocks and Oscillators D.B. Sullivan, D.W. Allan, DA. Howe, F.L. Walls

This is a collection of published papers assembled as a reference for those involved in characterizing and specifying high-performance clocks and oscillators. It is an interim replacement for NBS Monograph 140, Time and Frequency: Theory and Fundamentals, an older volume of papers edited by Byron E. Blair. This current volume includes tutorial papers, papers on standards and definitions, and a collection of papers detailing specific measurement and analysis techniques. The discussion in the introduction to the volume provides a guide to the content of the papers, and tables and graphs provide further help in organizing methods described in the papers
