[c-nsp] FWSM and IPv6

Are there any real-world data available for the performance of the
FWSM when using IPv6 (actually multi-tenant IPv6 and IPv4). A
Networkers' presentation I saw suggested that IPv6 forwarding was
punted to the CPU rather than performed in hardware; is this still the
case and is it an architectural issue which cannot be addressed
through software?

Cheers,

Matt
