PRESS RELEASE  
  

Excentis Hosted Successful IPv6 Interop for the European Cable operators

December 19, 2011 - Ghent (Belgium) - From December 5 till 9, eighteen
vendors (A10 Networks, Alcatel-Lucent, Arris, AVM, Broadcom, Casa Systems,
Cisco, Compal Broadband Networks, EchoStar Europe, Hitron Technologies,
Incognito Software, Intel, Juniper Networks, Kathrein, Motorola Mobility,
Netgear, Technicolor, Ubee Interactive Europe) tested their IPv6 enabled
CPE, CMTS, CGN and provisioning products in Excentis' labs to successfully
demonstrate IPv6 interoperability and capabilities of the products.

For a whole week, chip and equipment vendors had a unique opportunity to
test and refine the IPv6 capabilities of their equipment in the test lab of
Excentis in Ghent. This event was an important milestone to demonstrate the
IPv6 capabilities of EuroDOCSIST CPE and CMTS, Carrier Grade NAT (CGN)
equipment and provisioning software that are used on cable operators'
networks.

Participating vendors were:
. With EuroDOCSIST CPE: Arris, AVM, Broadcom, Cisco, Compal Broadband
Networks, EchoStar Europe, Hitron Technologies, Intel, Kathrein, Netgear,
Technicolor, and Ubee Interactive Europe
. With EuroDOCSIST CMTS: Arris, Casa Systems, Cisco, and Motorola Mobility
. With Carrier Grade NAT: A10 Networks, Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco and Juniper
Networks
. With provisioning systems: Cisco and Incognito Software 


Live demonstrations were organised on December 8 for cable operators in
cooperation with Cable Europe Labs.

"The Cable industry has been preparing for the important and necessary
transition from IPv4 to IPv6 for some time now. Due to our members' rapid
growth, Cable Europe Labs has increased our focus on validating technical
solution and transition strategies. The recent interoperability event hosted
by Excentis, successfully demonstrated the great strides made by key vendor
partners. It is a major industry milestone", says Peter Percosan, Managing
Director of Cable Europe Labs.

"Excentis has the expertise and a fully compliant IPv6 test lab with
dedicated test equipment including its ByteBlower traffic generator/analyser
to support this interoperability testing. Moreover as neutral partner for
the cable operator's industry, Excentis is well positioned to bring
competitors together for a successful interoperability event", says Luc
Martens, CEO of Excentis. 

"During the testing week, participating products achieved a high level of
IPv6 interoperability", says Wim De Ketelaere, CTO of Excentis. "This event
gave developers the opportunity to further refine their products and
identify any remaining interoperability issues with multiple vendors'
products", he continues.

"The products have been tested for IPv6 interoperability in the areas of
ED2.0+IPv6, ED3.0 and eRouter. Also several IPv6 migration techniques were
demonstrated successfully, like Dual-Stack Lite, NAT64/DNS64 and NAT444",
Kristof Sercu, manager testing services at Excentis, concludes.
