[j-nsp] IPv6 best practice

[Truman Boyes]

Hi,

Congrats! If you have MPLS in your backbone, you can continue to use  
IPv4 as the transport for your MPLS signaling. With this approach you  
can run 6VPE and build a VPN for your inet6 traffic. This is a common  
approach for "getting things going". All v6 stuff just rides across  
MPLS and your core doesn't know the difference.

If you plan to carry inet6 routes in a non-ipvpn topology, you can get  
your core "dual stack"; if you run OSPFv2 today you will need to  
consider OSPFv3 or ISIS to carry IPv6 in your IGP.

You can have all your ipv4 configuration coexist with ipv6.

You can also use logical routers / virtual routers / etc, if you want  
separation at that level.

Kind regards,
Truman
