VIC6 Testbed

The Victorian Industry Collaborative IPv6 (VIC6) is an Industry Outreach program, supported by the State Government of Victoria, to promote the benefits of IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), ensuring that Victoria maintains its leading edge in the technology field.

The Centre for Technology Infusion at La Trobe University is a Core Node of VIC6.

The Government has committed $350,000 towards a $1.2 million Industry Outreach program, including the development of a virtual testbed with the Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) and IPv6Now.

The VIC6 outreach program will be delivered through a limited number of core nodes, which will be a reference point for innovation in network, industry products and processes. It will enable the participants to experience a functional IPv6 network, test their own existing equipment for IPv6 capability, test how their software operates in an IPv6 network, experiment with hardware and software configurations, and engage in research and skills development.
