Abstract

Information dissemination and information assurance (IA) are key programmatic elements in 21st century weapons systems programs, such as future combat system (FCS). The deployment of these systems depends on the availability, integrity and accuracy of information delivered by Department of Defense (DoD) operational networks, in specific the DoD global information grid (GIG). Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the basis of information transport technology throughout the DoD GIG. The next generation of Internet protocol, Internet protocol version 6 (IPv6), provides numerous enhancements to IPv4 and its associated services, among them enhanced security mechanisms
