Which HA and Load sharing protocol support IPv6

[tzeon]

Is it SecurePlatform's ClusterXL only support IPv6 on HA mode which it is not support on Load Sharing(active-active mode)?

Is it only Nokia IPSO's VRRP(HA) and IP Clustering(load sharing) support IPv6 on both modes?

Actually, I am looking for load sharing solution to support IPv6. If anyone have idea, please feel free to comment and thanks.

Tested, IPSO 6.1 or 4.2 currently only support IPv6 HA mode with R65 which R65 CP sync did not support session failover.

Hi there,

Does anyone know the latest status of IPv6 HA on a HA cluster Checkpoint Firewall-1/VPN-1 running over SPLAT OS (Linux Kernel 2.4) ?

Thanks!
Arnaud.

I am wondering the same thing (SecurePlatform's ClusterXL support IPv6 on HA mode) on 2.6 kernel...

Anyone know when ClusterXL load sharing mode supports ipv6? R80.10?

As far as I know, it's not planned for R80.10.

Why, oh why do you need load sharing on either v4 or v6? For almost 15 years it is a very bad idea

I've never understood what load sharing gives you that a properly sized active/standby solution does not.

20 soemthing years ago, when networks were slow with just a few connections, using LS clustering allowed doubling capacity. You may remember, Nokia even had to come up with IP clustering, cumbersome as it was.

Today the benefits of LS are outweighed by inconveniences, limitations, etc.

Gotta agree with Val here, Load Sharing is a great concept but violates the KISS principle bigtime. Keep it simple...

It is not even mostly about keeping it simple. Multiple limitations when invoking LS outweigh any potential benefits today. But yes, troubleshooting LS is cumbersome
