+Using IPv6 Feature of Danube Release
+====================================
+
+This section provides the users with gap analysis regarding IPv6 feature requirements with
+OpenStack Newton Official Release and Open Daylight Boron/Carbon Official Release. The gap analysis
+serves as feature specific user guides and references when as a user you may leverage the
+IPv6 feature in the platform and need to perform some IPv6 related operations.

+IPv6 Gap Analysis with OpenStack Newton
+***************************************
+
+This section provides users with IPv6 gap analysis regarding feature requirement with
+OpenStack Neutron in Newton Official Release. The following table lists the use cases / feature
+requirements of VIM-agnostic IPv6 functionality, including infrastructure layer and VNF
+(VM) layer, and its gap analysis with OpenStack Neutron in Newton Official Release.

+
+This section provides users with IPv6 gap analysis regarding feature requirement with
+Open Daylight Boron/Carbon Official Release. The following table lists the use cases / feature
+requirements of VIM-agnostic IPv6 functionality, including infrastructure layer and VNF
+(VM) layer, and its gap analysis with Open Daylight Boron/Carbon Official Release.
+
+**Open Daylight Boron/Carbon Status**
+
+There are 2 options in Open Daylight Boron/Carbon to provide Virtualized Networks:
+
+1 ``Old Netvirt``: netvirt implementation used in Open Daylight Beryllium Release
+  identified by feature ``odl-ovsdb-openstack``
+
+2 ``New Netvirt``: netvirt implementation which will replace the Old Netvirt in the
+  future releases based on a more modular design. It is identified by feature
