Code, Tools and Documentation GateD Consortium
GateD-IPv6(Version 6)
Introduction
The GateD source code, tools and documentation are based on three
different product lines: GateD Unicast, GateD Multicast, GateD IPv6.
Each of the product lines has its own software base, release dates, and
product descriptions.
New GateD source code, tools and internal documentation is available to
GateD members only . Binaries for utilities and
on-line documentation are available for anonymous ftp or via the web.
