Getting ready to roll out IPv6 and trying to figure out bandwidth bandwidth. How does one go about associating a customer’s IPv4 address with their IPv6 prefix so that their bandwidth still lands in the same PCQ queue?
BUMP… 77 views, no replies.
Surely I’m not the only one looking for this solution and surely someone has figured it out by now.
We would really prefer not to ditch PCQ, but we need a way to ensure that we can still manage bandwidth for our dual-stack customers.
Thanks!

The function is necessary and vital, but I’m not sure what will happen quickly. Or they will not do it at all.
Over 200 views in the last 6 months, and still no answer? Surely we’re not the only MT-based ISP in the world that wants to roll out IPv6…
All the information is there… it just needs to be put together! The IPv4 DHCP servers has a MAC address that could easily be associated with the PCQ bucket, which could then be used to identify and include the IPv6 subnet, which uses a DUID that’s generated from the same MAC address.
Granted, nobody’s seen MT’s code, but it can’t be that difficult.
A though: with queue tree and synced (v4 & v6) packet marking…
PS: v6 needs to be native, as when encapsulated, marking is lost
Been a couple years… not even so much as a whisper from MT?
Surely we’re not the only ISP needing dual stack PCQ. With a little over 1000 wireless subs, it’s way too labor intensive to handle bandwidth on the CPE or with individual queues.
