Tips for Migrating From Parallel Library TCP/IP to NonStop TCP/IPv6 on
page 3-15
Addresses
IPv6 addresses are automatically generated and associated with the SUBNET object
in NonStop TCP/IPv6 when the subsystem is run in INET6 or DUAL mode. (See the
TCP/IPv6 Configuration and Management Manual for information about IPv6
addressing.)
Applications
Applications designed to run on Parallel Library TCP/IP can run on NonStop TCP/IPv6
in INET mode without change. However, applications may need to change to run on
NonStop TCP/IPv6 in INET6 or DUAL mode. If your application uses the sockets
library and you want it to run over IPv6 sockets or you want the application to be
protocol independent, see the TCP/IP Programming Manual for information about
migrating your application.
