4.1.4 IPv4/IPv6 Hybrid Networking
Full IPv4 networking and full IPv6 networking are similar. At the early stage of IPv6
implementation, however, IPv4/IPv6 hybrid networks are common. This gives full play
to the IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack and IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling features provided by the H3C
S3610 series and enables flexible networking.

Applications
4.2.1 Broadband Ethernet Access for Residential Communities
An H3C S5510 series Ethernet switch can operate on the distribution layer of a
broadband MAN. You can connect it to a backbone router or Layer 3 switch in the uplink
direction through its GigabitEthernet optical ports, and connect it to Layer 2/Layer 3
devices operating as the portal devices of community networks through its
GigabitEthernet optical ports. Additionally, you can use multiple GigabitEthernet ports
to form GigabitEthernet trunk ports so as to broaden the uplink and downlink
bandwidth.
