Maybe to start -- but again, what kind of 6to4 traffic level are we expecting yet?
Peak or average? Think twice before answering. :-) I'm told there are 6to4 relays seeing in excess of 100mbps. Not bursts. Can you imagine trying to handle 100mbps "internet mix" traffic process switched? :-Z Not even talking about the peaks.
The only thing that makes 6to4 more complex, compared to a plain IPIP (or GRE, or any other point-to-point vanilla tunnel protocol) tunnel is that the far-side endpoint changes based on the tunneled payload.
That's a trivial op, and the Tunnel PIC sees the L3 header anyway so can easily take it from there. But I fear that feature hasn't made it to the RFPs and otherwise "high profile much revenue anticipated" feature request lists yet, so we'll have to wait. :-( Regards, Daniel -- CLUE-RIPE -- Jabber: dr@cluenet.de -- dr@IRCnet -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
