IPv6 Gateway^™

Demand for IPv6 is increasing, with many sites facing new requirements to handle IPv6 traffic. The BIG-IP^® IPv6 Gateway Module gives you a clear and seamless strategy for staging network migration as IPv6 traffic grows, without wholesale network and application upgrades.

Lower Cost

Provides complete translation and load balancing between v4 and v6 networks, and directs traffic across mixed IPv6 and IPv4 devices. Insulates organizations from costly application changes to support IPv6.

IPv6 Support

Includes support for object definition, object probing, AAAA, A6, DNAME, SNMP, F5 iControl API, and statistics. Allows BIG-IP to support IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (self IPs, virtual servers, proxies, nodes, and SNATs).

IPv6/IPv4 Translation

Translates traffic for consumption by either IPv4 or IPv6 end points, allowing organizations to stage their migration gradually as demand for IPv6 increases.
