[calix-nsp] IPv6 status

[Dan White]

True that. We have had to create quite a few VLANs within our Cisco
distribution and core as the traffic passes between the E5 rings back to
our Redback.

Building those VLANs on the router is not so much of an issue, because we
treat it very nearly like we handle our traditional ATM/DSL customers,
where we build a subscriber record for each customer. Except we're doing
outter tag/inner tag rather than VPI/VCIs.

We are planning on adding an additional tag (tripple tagging) on top of the
double tag as the traffic enters and exits the E5 rings, and the BRAS
router, which should allow us to use one (or a small number) of VLANs in
our Cisco switches.
