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: [email protected] -- [email protected] -- PGP: 0xA85C8AA0
