From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The KAME project was a joint effort of six companies in Japan to provide a free IPv6 and IPsec (for both IPv4 and IPv6) protocol stack implementation for variants of the BSD Unix computer operating system. The project began in 1998 and on November 7, 2005 it was announced that the project would be finished at the end of March 2006 [1].

The parties involved were:

• ALAXALA Networks Corporation
• Fujitsu, Ltd.
• Hitachi, Ltd.
• Internet Initiative Japan Inc.
• Keio University
• NEC Corporation
• University of Tokyo
• Toshiba Corporation
• Yokogawa Electric Corporation

This IPSec and IPv6 code from the KAME project was integrated into DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, though OpenBSD integrated just IPv6 code rather than both.
