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.
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". -- Simon.
