Abstract

This document provides guidance for application developers and software as a service providers on how to approach IPv6 testing in Dual-Stack (IPv4+IPv6), and IPv6-only scenarios, including "true IPv6-only" scenarios. It discusses common misconceptions about the degree to which operating systems and libraries can abstract IPv6 issues away and explains common regressions to avoid when deploying IPv6 support.
