3 Migration Considerations
This section discusses the differences between NonStop TCP/IP and NonStop
TCP/IPv6 and the differences between Parallel Library TCP/IP and NonStop TCP/IPv6.

Differences Between Parallel Library TCP/IP and NonStop TCP/IPv6 on page 3-11
NonStop TCP/IPv6, when run in INET or DUAL mode, is transparent for Guardian and
OSS socket applications; specifying a TCP6SAM process in place of the NonStop
TCP/IP or the TCPSAM process is all that is required to access NonStop TCP/IPv6.
However, there are considerations that affect different kinds of applications. Those
considerations are explained in this section. In addition, there are changes that must
be made for applications to use the IPv6 (INET6 mode) features of NonStop TCP/IPv6.
For complete SCF command syntax as well as subsystem configuration information
and methods of maximizing the benefits of the NonStop TCP/IPv6 architecture, see the
TCP/IPv6 Configuration and Management Manual. For information about porting
applications to IPv6, see the TCP/IP Programming Manual.
