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 Official Release. + +**Open Daylight Boron Status** + +There are 2 options in Open Daylight Boron 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.
