[c-nsp] DualStack IPv4/IPv6 for access?

[Paul Stewart]

Thanks for the all the replies... this is mainly driven by having our access
network "IPv6 ready" for clients.... we have our distribution and core all
running dual-stack for quite a while now.  Now it's time to take it to the
access side of things or at least have it ready to go ;)

The devices involved range from 2600's up to 7206VXR's so I'll just have to
try and see what happens hehe...

Appreciate it,

Paul

Sorry, you're right.  I should have mentioned it.  (As far as I understand,
support for the C10k is "in the works", though.  No idea about ASR).

I run a Linksys WRT54GL with OpenWRT and an external ADSL2+ modem (bridging
PPPoE to the WRT).  Not a solution that's really suitable for large scale
customer rollout - but it works *very* well... :)

And yes, it would be nice if the Linksys products would get IPv6 support in
their "as shipped" firmware.  It's not that hard, there's Linux inside (oh
wait, they moved to $somethingelse, for some weird internal reason...).
