Depends on what you want to use it for. At least some router vendors
already support:
- DNS queries over IPv6
- SSH/telnet over IPv6
- SNMP over IPv6 (I've personally used this too.)
- IPv4 over IPv6 tunnels
- (I'm not aware of the implementation status of Tacacs/Radius situation,
if used, but that could be one element)
So at least most components We've found useful are there. Not in all the
implementations, of course.
