[AusNOG] IPv6

[Ross Annetts]

As a webhosting provider we have had a few road blocks along the way:

  * Buggy DHCPv6 relay implementation in firewalls (had to jump way
    passed recommended firmware release in one case).
  * Additional licenses to activate IPv6 functionality on network devices.
  * Many existing layer 3 switches we had did not do IPv6 at all.
  * A lot of work related to implementing IPv6 ACLs (to match the many
    existing IPv4 policies) across the network.
  * Lack of support/feature incomplete implementations in webhosting
    control panels.
  * This was a while ago but when we original started enabling IPv6 the
    ISP we used for an ADSL line to the office had very different levels
    of service between IPv4 and IPv6, there were regular outages
    specifically for IPv6 that would last a couple hours.
