[afnog] What are the major challenges in enabling Services to run on IPv6?

[Andrew Alston]

Hi Phil,

Actually that's in the pipeline for what we want to do.  There are large segments of our network that I could comfortably run V6 only on *IF* I had an ability to do Martini PW over v6, but sadly, since Martini PW still requires LDP in most vendor implementations, this is not possible yet.  I believe that LDPv6 is on the Juniper and Cisco roadmaps for 2015 (though I am open to correction on this), and if that happens, I can tell you right now, that for at least 1500 devices I can think of off the top of my head, v4 will be a thing of the past.

Andrew

        Well, technically, no one's moved to IPv6 yet. They've
        *added* IPv6, but I don't know of anyone off v4 yet :)
