Benefits of 6PE
6PE offers the following benefits to service providers:
• Minimal operational cost and risk - No impact on existing IPv4 and MPLS services.
• Only provider edge routers require upgrade - A 6PE router can be an existing PE router or a new one dedicated to IPv6 traffic.
• No impact on IPv6 customer edge (CE) routers - The ISP can connect to any CE router running Static, IGP or EGP.
• Production services ready - An ISP can delegate IPv6 prefixes.
• IPv6 introduction into an existing MPLS service - 6PE routers can be added at any time.
