Note that not all Cisco routers use process switching for 6to4 tunnel encap/decap (which is really just IPv6-in-IPv4). Catalyst 6500/7600 OSR with PFC-3 (Sup32/Sup720) do this "in hardware".
And for dual-stack organizations using these at the borders, deploying a local-only 6to4 outbound relay should be easy, right? (The fact that transits should really be providing 6to4 to their downstreams notwithstanding -- it would be faster at the org's border, but if transits collectively offered 2002::/16 as standard practice, it may not be such a big deal.) -- -- Todd Vierling <tv@duh.org> <tv@pobox.com> <todd@vierling.name>
