Project Overview
================

TAHI Project is the joint effort formed with the objective of
developing and providing the verification technology for IPv6. 

The growth process of IPv4 was the history of encountering various kinds of
obstacles and conquering such obstacles. However, once the position as
infrastructure was established, it is not allowed to repeat the same history.
This is a reason why the verification technology is essential for IPv6
deployment.

	We research and develop conformance tests and interoperability tests
	for IPv6.

	We closely work with the KAME project and USAGI project.
	We help activities of them in the quality side by offering
	the verification technology we develop in the TAHI project and improve
	the development efficiency. 

	We open the results and fruits of the project to the public for FREE.
	Any developer concerned with IPv6 can utilize the results and fruits
	of TAHI project freely. A free software plays an important role in
	progress of the	Internet. We believe that providing the verification
	technology for FREE contributes to advances of IPv6. Besides the
	programs, the specifications and criteria of verification will be
	included in the Package.


Organizations
=============

TAHI Project started at October 1, 1998,
then the project was formed by following three organizations
(in alphabetical order):

	The University of Tokyo 
	YDC Corp.
	Yokogawa Electric Corp. 

Now the project is formed by following two organizations.

	The University of Tokyo 
	Yokogawa Electric Corp. 


Introduction of IPv6 Conformance Test Tool
==========================================
The IPv6 Conformance Test Tool is a tool package to execute conformance
tests for IPv6.

That is, with the Tool, you can
	- define any packet to be sent.
	- define any packet to be captured.
	- program the above actions in any order by perl scripts.

TAHI project also offers you another package for IPv6 conformance test
programs that are developed based on the Tool. For more information,
please refer to 00README.ct.

Both packages "ct" and "v6eval" may be obtained at our site:

	http://www.tahi.org/
