Title

The application services and interfaces must be compatible with and ready for IPv6 networks.

Control

Verify the application environment is compliant with all DoW IPv6 Standards Profile for IPv6 Capable Products guidance for servers. If the application environment is not compliant with all DoW IPv6 Standards Profile for IPv6 Capable Products guidance for servers, this is a finding.

Discussion

If the application has not been upgraded to execute on an IPv6-only network, there is a possibility the application will not execute properly, and as a result, a denial of service could occur. In order to operate on an IPV6 network, the application must be capable of making IPV6 compatible network socket calls.
