With demand for IPv6 increasing, many sites are facing new requirements to handle IPv6 traffi c. Organizations need a clear and seamless strategy for staging network migration as IPv6 traffic grows. The IPv6 Gateway Module allows organizations to handle their IPv6 requirements without wholesale network and application upgrades. Provides complete IP transformation and load balancing capabilities between v4 and v6 networks; directs traffi c across mixed IPv6 and IPv4 resources. Insulates organizations from costly application changes to support IPv6. Module supports object definition; object probing, AAAA, A6 and DNAME; SNMP support; F5 iControl API support, and statistics. Allows BIG-IP to support IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (self-ips, virtual servers, proxies, nodes and snats). Specific applications and geographies will require IPv6, but a mass migration will not occur rapidly. With this module, organizations can translate traffi c for consumption by either IPv4 or IPv6 end points, allowing them to stage their migration gradually as demand for IPv6 increases.
