Frequently Asked Questions
What is CGv6 Transformation?
CGv6 Transformation, or Carrier Grade IPv6 Transformation, refers to the process of translating IPv4 traffic to IPv6 or vice versa, enabling networks to support both protocols during the transition period. This is crucial for maintaining connectivity and services as the internet moves towards IPv6.
What does 'in-line' mean in this context?
In-line means the transformation process occurs directly on the data path of the router, without requiring separate hardware or external devices. This approach is generally more efficient and offers lower latency for traffic processing.
How long is the license term?
This is a subscription-based license. The specific term (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 years) is determined at the time of purchase and is reflected in the subscription agreement.
