As World IPv6 Day continues here are some interesting stats you can view on various participants, including A10 Networks: v6day.ripe.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi Longer RTT makes sense in our case (looking at the ping results). Europe to the US via SLB-PT!

Hi,

Thank you for posting. Interesting read.

We were not ready to test IPv6 back in June, but we are planning to implement some IPv6 services this fall.

Regarding sw version to run when implementing IPv6 on an AX device: Are we still advised to run 2.6.X or will a recent patch version in the 2.4.3 branch be sufficient?

We are currently on 2.4.3-p7-SP2.

Hi Sven,

I’ll let you talk to Mischa. Now for everybody else information, if you want to stay on our 2.4.3 branch (2.6.1 is obviously younger) and want to deploy “SLB-PT” (IPv6 VIP using Servers-v4), you can go with our 2.4.3-P8 release

That said keep in mind our 2.6.1 release is going to be a “Gold” release sometimes this year, which means A10 has strong confidence in it and will be supported for 4 years after it is officially announced.
