Hi,
Most routers today are basically IPv4 routers, with IPv6 thrown in. They are however designed keeping IPv4 in mind.
With IPv6 growing, if we were to design a native IPv6 router, with IPv4 functionality thrown in, then is it possible to design a more optimal IPv6 router, than what exists today?
Asic based forwarding engines with ipv6 support are more than a decade old at this point. If one looks at an asr9000 or an MX or T that looks like an ipv6 router to me.
