Network

o The WAN interface of the CE Router was a DOCSIS, DSL or an Ethernet network

o Network Registrar (CNR) acted as both the DHCP-Server1 and DNS-

o Host devices connected to the LAN interface of the CE Router consisted of a mix of popular operating systems including: 7, and Mac OS X Lion

The test cases were performed to verify that a home router implements IPv6 routing specifically, that the home router properly looks up IPv6 addresses in the routing table and sends packets to the correct interface, and that the home router otherwise behaves as a proper IPv6 node as defined by the IETF.
