[j-nsp] IPv6 an Advanced Feature? Cmon

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hey Juniper,

Is there a reason that IPv6 is mostly down as an Advanced Feature?

Given we're trying to encourage the whole world into moving to IPv6 and
given there is little or no end-user business case to doing so - which
makes things hard enough.  All desktop/server operating systems, IPv6 is a
free inclusion.

Why is Juniper charging for IPv6 routing in the base image?

*Licensing*
An advanced feature license (AFL) is required to deploy IPv6 routing
protocols such as RiPng, OSPFv3, IS-IS, MBGP,
PIM, and MLDv1/2 on eX series switches. An AFL is also required for
deploying 6Pe and 6vPe functionality on the
eX8200 line. All other functionality, including IPv6 infrastructure (SLAAC,
NDP, and path MTU discovery), IPv6 quality
of service (Qos), firewall filters, FBF, VRRP for IPv6, DHCPv6
server/relay, port security, management and OAM, is
available in the base image.
