Hi folks,
My understanding is that if one is planning migration to IPv6 and service provider is supporting Dual Stack, I could connect my PE router using:
1. GRE tunnel (which a static configuration method)
2. Manually Configured tunnels (MCT) which is also static.
I could do ISATAP and 6to4 but it sounds those are more complicated to implement. So I will stick with "static" options above.
Question:
a)Is it right that GRE pros when compareted to MCT is that it supports passage of protocols such as IS-IS and others. Cons is that GRE adds certain overhead. That is about it, right?
b)if objective is to get company border router able to communicate via IPv6 with service provider, do you see any need to use ISATAP or 6to4 (dynamic tunnels)?
