They don't support DS-Lite. But DS-Lite is just native IPv6 with an IPIPv6 tunnel to a CGNAT gateway for IPv4. Mikrotik routers can do the tunneling, but lack the automatic configuration and the necessary DHCPv6 features to script the setup. If you know the domain name of the CGNAT gateway (the "AFTR"), you can set up the tunnel manually. See RFC 6333 for details. Be warned though, the throughput will be limited due to the lack of IPv6 fast tracking support. The router can use fast path acceleration only if there are no IPv6 firewall rules.I was not aware that any Mikrotik Products supported DS-Lite, please explain how you support this.
According to MikroTik's own documentation there is currently no IPv6 fastpath support.The router can use fast path acceleration only if there are no IPv6 firewall rules.
unfortunately it seems impossible for now. they said that they should add route cache first:Maybe in v7 ?
With a ccr1036, I hit approx 2gb/sec per connection, while I can hit more than 9gb/s with ipv4 and fastrack. Of course, if you multiply the connections, you can be at full speed overall, but, it's not ideal.
Hello
FastPath depends on route cache and there is no route cache in v7.
FastTrack cannot work if there is no FastPath support. Since IPv6 currently does not support FastPath, you cannot run FastTrack. Currently, there is no ETA for such functionality.

I can only get 600mbps+- without firewall, with firewall it maxed at 350mbps, what did you do with hAP ac2 to get it run at 1gbps in ipv6? Can share to us?hAP ac2 (and all new IPQ401x based gear) happily can do up to 1Gbps.
i test this regularly with the on-board speedtest (tool speedtest) command.
True, but I have no choice since recently ipv4 traffic is really jam in my country, switched to ipv6 and much better now, ping plotter also show lower ping to facebook youtube and so.People are not going to be happy if they are switched to IPv6 and suddenly they don't have fasttrack anymore.
there was nothing special in the config. the device was connected via ether1 to a 60ghz IPv6 only radio, and received IPv6 address and default route via DHCPv6 (request address) - so it was just connected. on the other part of the 60GHz network there was a CCR, with bw server enabled.I can only get 600mbps+- without firewall, with firewall it maxed at 350mbps, what did you do with hAP ac2 to get it run at 1gbps in ipv6?

Changed from hAP ac2 to ER-X who has lower spec of CPU, but with hardware nat, finally max out my ISP speed of 840/220mbps for both IPv4 and IPv6, with almost no CPU usage, MT please do something for IPv6.

I'm currently using a hap ac^2. Since there's no fast-track for IPv6, would switching to a RB4011 help me reach ~940Mbps as I'm getting on IPv4 currently?Recently bought an RB4011. So far the missing IPv6 FastTrack doesn't drag me down (simply because it has so much CPU available to it).
However, I'd still love to keep my CPU less utilized when I push gigabit IPv6 (jumps to 25% use with gigabit in one direction, so it'd probably be fine for bidirectional, but with v4 it goes to like 5-6% and that's it)
So yeah, +1 for v6 FastTrack (FastPath can't work as I need firewall rules to work)!
I can saturate my gigabit line with IPv6 at about 20-30% CPU load (got like 30 IPv6 firewall rules in place). So, yeah, that should work out.I'm currently using a hap ac^2.

I don't think so :/Are there there any comments from MikroTik about the missing fasttrack support for IPv6? Is it at least a planned feature?
A lot of devices use "tricks" to route a lot of traffics, no mater how they name them. Fastrack/path for mikrotik, SecureXL for checkpoint firewall, etc... At some point you have to tack a smart fast path for you data...I consider fasttrack only a quick bandaid to improve the performance of underpowered routers.
It is always the first thing that I disable as it often is incompatible with what I want to do.
IMHO the only furure-proof way of handling traffic is to buy a device that can route it without fasttrack or similar tricks.
