IPv6

7200 VXR does not by default have any dedicated packet switching 
hardware. If you are daring enough, you might buy NSE-1 (unless they 
EOLed it already) to get first generation PXF hardware which is
a more or less mission specific CPU matrix/pipeline thingy. 

More robust and reliable generations of the PXF have since appeared
in later models of the hardware. However, your mileage may still vary.
