IPv6 Gap Analysis with Open Daylight Boron
==========================================

This section provides users with IPv6 gap analysis regarding feature requirement with
Open Daylight Boron 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 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. It is identified by feature
  ``odl-netvirt-openstack``
