Re: is ipv6 fast, was silly Redeploying

When considering the IPv6 product, I would suggest you read
USGv6-Revision-1 (1) to define the specification you need for the product.
Then go to the USGv6 Registry (2), select the features and read the
Supplier Declaration of Conformity (SDOC) to ensure that the product meets
your requirements. Do this prior to having the discussion with the vendor
sales.

Also, ask for documents which provide details on performance and security
testing. It will save you hours of troubleshooting problems and patching
vulnerability.

Lessons learned from implementing IPv6 products.
