3com.com Experts agree that while the IPv4 Internet will eventually grow to its limits, IPv4 will probably not disappear within our lifetimes. Certainly corporate nets will continue to use IPv4 until ALL v4-based services are usable over v6. Depending on how well v4 interoperates with v6, v4 may continue to exist within mixed IPv6/IPv4 networks for a long time. From Juniper's white pages: juniper.net The Internet Processor is both a fully generic and a fully programmable lookup engine. In the initial release, it supports IPv4 (including IP multicast) and MPLS. Because of the Internet Processor's programmability, support can be extended to include other protocols such as IPv6 and Frame Relay, simply by programming the Packet Forwarding Engine, developing new routing software for the Routing Engine, and communicating the new forwarding table to the Internet Processor. The programmability of the Internet Processor allows the existing JUNOS software to continue to evolve and remain fully supported in hardware. As routing continues to develop in a number of unpredictable ways, the programmability of the Internet Processor ASIC allows Juniper Networks to future-proof the Packet Forwarding Engine by allowing it to support new functionality in hardware.
