Last time I checked, some of the state of the art 2004 era silicon I had laying around could forward v6 just fine in hardware. It's not so usefyl due to it's fib being a bit undersized for 330k routes plus v6, but hey, six years is long time.
<cough>4948</cough> (not 6yrs old, but... still forwards v6 in the slow-path, weee!)
Yes it does. and the slow path is sloooooooooow on the that switch. but switches and routers did and do come in colors other than blue.
but, but, but.. then it won't match! and seriously, I can't have another run in with the fashion police. In actual seriousness, my point is that plenty of this sort of gear is in the network, and will be for a time. It's sort of inexcusable that vendors put out gear 5 years ago that didn't do v6 in the fast path... oh well. -chris
