Overview
The C4/c CMTS IPv6 Host and Routing feature adds standards-compliant routing of IPv6-conformant packets and an IPv6
host stack to the C4/c CMTS for management applications.
IPv6 is defined by a relatively large number of RFCs and Internet Drafts. The requirements on both host stacks and routers
are substantially more complex than those for IPv4, partly because many desirable features that are common in IPv4
deployments (but are not part of the basic IPv4 protocol) have been folded into the basic definition of the IPv6 protocol.
Many of the changes in IPv6 are designed to help routers process packets more efficiently than is possible in IPv4. Refer to
the pertinent RFCs for more detailed information.
