Nokia Views on IPv6 Transition
The time for wide-scale IPv6 deployment is approaching as the pool of available IPv4 addresses is exhausting. The shared goal for all parties is to make IPv6 deployment smooth and transparent for end users, enable continuous and strong growth of the Internet, and provide affordable Internet access to a significantly increasing number of people and devices. This document communicates Nokia’s views about IPv6 transition in general, and offers specific opinions about various technologies that can be used in cellular environments for the transition. Considerations are also included for network operators, application developers, and organisations providing services on the Internet.

S60 Platform: Bluetooth Point-to-Multipoint Example
This C++ example application demonstrates the use of Bluetooth technology: device and service discovery, connection establishment to one or more devices, communication between devices, and disconnection. The Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol (RS-232 serial port emulation) is used as the transport protocol. For device discovery, the example provides two implementations, based on Generic Inquiry and the considerably faster Limited Inquiry (LIAC). Note that LIAC requires signing with a developer certificate. The updated example has been modified to support S60 5th Edition and touch UI. Important classes: RSocketServ, RHostResolver, CSdpAgent, SdpSearchPattern, RSdp
