KAME project

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the KAME Project , a consortium of six Japanese organizations developed a free implementation of a protocol stack for IPv6 and IPsec (for both IPv4 and IPv6) for the variants of the BSD - operating system .

The project ran from 1998 to 2006. Directly involved were ALAXALA Networks Corporation, Fujitsu , Hitachi , Internet Initiative Japan , Keiō University , NEC Corporation , University of Tokyo , Toshiba and Yokogawa Electric and there was cooperation with the TAHI Project , the USAGI Project and the WIDE Project .

The code can be found almost completely in FreeBSD and NetBSD and partly in OpenBSD (only IPv6 code), DragonFly BSD and BSD / OS . Code from the KAME project was also adopted for the IPSec implementation of Linux .

The name KAME is both a short form for Karigome - the name of the location of the project offices - and a word for turtles .
