Hey Mikael,

It's not so much whether or not IPv6 "works", it's more about what
functionality is actually supported (and how). NetFlow on Cisco's current
uBR 10k platform (the CMTS) doesn't appear to work for IPv6, for example (I
could be wrong, but this is what the documentation leads me to believe).

Any pitfalls relating to filtering, for example? UDC versus "regular" ACL's
(I'm thinking in relation to the recommendations that Eric Vynke mentions in
his IPv6 security book as well as other sources).

Perhaps it is just too broad a question to ask here (it was only if someone
had experience :-), I will make sure to take it to our vendors.

Regards,

Tor (and sorry if this too gets sorted in with the wrong thread; I'll be
more careful next time I start a new topic).
