This section provides an overview of the NonStop TCP/IPv6 product, definitions of the
terms used in this guide, system requirements, product components and product
numbers, a summary of the differences between NonStop TCP/IP and NonStop
TCP/IPv6 and the differences between Parallel Library TCP/IP and NonStop TCP/IPv6,
a list of the current constraints of NonStop TCP/IPv6, and product compatibility.

Overview
NonStop TCP/IPv6 is an HP networking product that provides increased performance
and scalability over NonStop TCP/IP and adds the option of TCP/IP version 6
capability to the Parallel Library TCP/IP product.
The main features of NonStop TCP/IPv6 are:
•
Runs on NonStop S-series servers and Integrity NonStop NS-series servers
•
When run in INET mode (TCP/IP version 4 only), is a direct replacement for
Parallel Library TCP/IP
•
Coexists and can run simultaneously with NonStop TCP/IP on G06.20 and later
G-series RVUs
•
Cannot coexist with Parallel Library TCP/IP on the same NonStop S-series system
(Parallel Library TCP/IP is not supported on Integrity NonStop servers)
•
Runs in multiple processors
•
Uses a distributed architecture that facilitates load distribution
Note. Parallel Library TCP/IP is not supported on Integrity NonStop servers.
