CMTS support of IPv6

[Rickman, Phil]

UBR 10ks have full support but it is software based forwarding
We see a 70-90 increase in processor load with 5-10 meg of transit traffic.
The new SCD release is due sometime in the next few weeks for testing.

Casa also have IPv6 implementation but their IGPs a scant to say the least and really not a supportable configuration

We also have the Motorolas but i have yet to test them but once I do will let you know how they turn out.

Interesting.. thanks for sharing that.  Today we run Cisco 7246VXR and
there's internal discussions around either adding more of them or moving to
Motorola.  The question around IPv6 was raised but nobody pursued an answer
that I know of.

Speaking of, does anyone know if the 7246VXR properly supports IPv6?

Best regards,

Paul

Just got off the phone with the pre-sales tech support person for our CMTS
vendor, Motorola.  He shared that "no one is asking for IPv6", "none of my
customers have asked about it", and plans are for full support in 2H 2011.
Also shared that we will likely see CPE (by that he means CM and CM gateway)
support via firmware upgrades.  He says the market and therefore software
and hardware development focus has been on bandwidth -- more downstream and
upstream channel bonding.

There's some IPv6 support in the existing code base, but he wasn't able to
describe where it's lacking.  I know it's missing some dynamic routing
protocol support, but I haven't yet identified any other feature gaps.

So anyone who has Motorola CMTS gear, I would encourage them to talk to
their sales person and encourage them to make it a greater priority.
