[Chapter-delegates] Fw: [afripv6-discuss] IPv6 Magic --- New from Microsoft --- SecureDirectAccess end to end

[Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond]

(apologies for cross-posting but I think this is important enough)

Could DirectAccess be the "killer app" which everybody was waiting for?

Microsoft is shifting its stance and catching up re: IPv6

A new set of documents have just been released.

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=71543

This doesn't surprise me regarding Microsoft. In the early days of Internet, Microsoft was a late starter because their idea was that MSN could be an all-integrated service offering a one stop shop for everything. The shift in strategy was very fast indeed. It looks like the IPv6 wave is finally about to hit.

Warm regards,

Olivier

The author's name has been taken out for the time being:

 

DirectAccess allows a Windows 7 client to have always-on/always-connected experience to the corporate network without the need for a VPN. Where ever the client goes (coffee shop, home, another corporate network, whatever) the client will automatically connect back to the corporate network and allow the user to access resources just like they were sitting at their desk.

 

All of this is accomplished through the magic of end-to-end connectivity, provided by IPv6.   Teredo or 6to4 is used on the client to allow it to connect to the server in the absence of a Native IPv6 connection, although Native v6 is supported as well.

 

Internally, only those corporate servers that have an IPv6 address will we visible to the client.   ISATAP is used as the transition technology of choice, but we see that NAT-PT will be used more than we would like to perform the translation within the network.

 

 

Take a look at the information located at www.microsoft.com/directaccess for more details.
