Accelerate Migration to IPv6

SP Guru Network Planner’s optional IPv6 Planning and Operations module automatically assesses the IPv6 readiness of existing network equipment and predicts the impact of IPv4 to IPv6 migration on network performance and security.

Key Features

  • Determine IPv6 network readiness via a systematic, rules-based validation of each device’s compatibility with IPv6 features such as addressing, routing, QoS,multicast, security, operating system requirements, and transition mechanism features
  • Leverage comprehensive reports to quickly identify compliant and non-compliant equipment, and required hardware or software upgrades
  • Evaluate what-if scenarios including capacity and configuration changes, equipment enhancements, and use of tunnels and dual-stacked devices
  • Automatically generate network designs to transition from IPv4 to IPv6 by defining the subnets that require migration, the proposed transition mechanisms and other key metrics
  • Clearly visualize unroutable traffic flows and services arising from the migration in a concise report
  • Analyze IPv6 network design to ensure survivability and security
  • Validate proposed IPv6 configuration changes prior to deployment
