VPN is quite hard with IPv6 since you usually would use IPSec. And IPv6 uses global routeable addresses, local prefixes are something which you should try to avoid. > Ideally we should have the same amount of support for it as for IPv4: dhcpv6, > security groups v6, additional IPs. > Would merely duplicating the code for IPv4 be a possible way forward? > No, that won't work. But one thing that needs to happen is remove a lot of IPv4-only code. A lot of checks always assume a address is IPv4. But we should start with handing out addresses using DHCPv6.
