Only software. Routing etc. would all remain identical, those extra bits would be in the packet header and only end points need to understand those headers. 52% is not sufficient IPv6 connectivity, even 100% would not be -- It needs to match or exceed IPv4 performance. ie. routing has to be better. Unfortunately, due to design, i don't think that's feasible ever either because the routing tables will grow exponentially larger than IPv4. Right now, IPv6 route is often weaker than IPv4 to my experience. IPv6 OpEx is much higher than IPv4, to our experience as well. It's not even a competition.
