[address-policy-wg] PA ??? life after death

Even very low-cost chipsets for CEs, such as Mediatek, Broadcom, Cavium/Marvell, etc., can offload IPv6 as well.

 

Sometimes is not the hardware, but the firmware not taking advantage of it.

 

For IPv6, unless you want pure dual-stack, not the right transition for what is needed now (IPv6-only with IPv4-as-a-Service), Mikrotik is the worst example, definitely.

That’s only if you run on soho (Mikrotik) or prehistoric gear. It’s hard to find Cisco/Juniper Datacentre router manufactured in the last 5 years that wouldn’t have full support for IPv6.  

 

There’s absolutely zero reason not to deploy it yet!

Post scriptum: IPv6 is not harder or slower to deploy than IPv4. If you would

like to make IPv6-only network without transition mechanisms from scratch, it

would be easier to make than IPv4-only. You wouldn't need CGN and also HA

would be much easier (multiple routers on segment and so on). Technically the

IPv6 should be faster, allows more freedom in network architecture and should

require less logic in the network itself. It is mainly political problem, not

technical.

 


Do not mix politics to IPv6, please.

It's still lot of technical problems with IPv6 - the main one is dealing IPv6 by software (processors) instead of hardware.
The first-hand example: Mikrotik. Lot of HW offload functions are only for IPv4. Same is with some Cisco's, or other randomly pointed devices. Amen.
