The target device is considerd as the black box in IPv6 Ready Logo Program.
The program can support not only kernel but also appliance.
If you need to use the additional software,
you can use it.
But in this case, you need to describe the environment into the application form,
for example, like as "FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE + mcast-tools-20061214".
These explicit version number is important.
The applicant device must be identified
by the explicit software, hardware or firmware version.
