IPv6 in OpenStack

Abstract:

IPv6 has become an important topic in the network world as IPv4 pools diminish and the use of application-breaking NAT rises. The Neutron IPv6 Sub-team was formed to provide feature-parity between IPv4 and IPv6, and to extend OpenStack's capabilities where IPv6 provides new features. Join Sean Collins and Anthony Veiga for a discussion of the current state of IPv6 in OpenStack, where it's going, and why it's important to provide IPv6 support.
