General forwarding, access lists, etc. Anything you would do with IPv4 right now but in a dual-stack network where things prefer IPv6 first. I'm using 3750's and their TCAM space for v6 stuffs is somewhat tiny. ~Seth _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
