ISATAP (Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol) is an IPv6 transition mechanism meant to transmit IPv6 packets between dual-stack nodes on top of an IPv4 network.
Unlike 6over4 (an older similar protocol using IPv4 multicast), ISATAP uses IPv4 as a virtual nonbroadcast multiple-access network (NBMA) data link layer, so that it does not require the underlying IPv4 network infrastructure to support multicast.
via ISATAP – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
How ISATAP works
ISATAP defines a method for generating a link-local IPv6 address from an IPv4 address, and a mechanism to perform Neighbor Discovery on top of IPv4.
Edge10G solution is the industry’s first 10Gig Adaptive Network Access Control (Adaptive NAC) appliance that provides identity-based access to the network, controlling access at the edge via granular policies and continuous enforcement for 10Gig networks. With 10x the speed, you can also deploy the Edge10G as a Top Of Rack security solution.

This document specifies how DNS resource records are named and structured to facilitate service discovery. Given a type of service that a client is looking for, and a domain in which the client is looking for that service, this allows clients to discover a list of named instances of that desired service, using standard DNS queries. This is referred to as DNS-based Service Discovery, or DNS-SD.

Urban Airship was launched in May of 2009. Steven Osborn had been tasked with implementing a backend system for push and in-app purchase for a popular gaming company. While developing the solution, he discovered how resource-intensive the project was. He realized that if he could devote the time, energy, and money to create the perfect solution, he could provide a valuable product for other smart phone app developers. Osborn reached out to former colleagues Scott Kveton, Adam Lowry, and Michael Richardson and the seed of the new company was planted.
An Android smartphone has been trying to use port 1237 to contact this outfit. I will open up that port and see what’s going on.
