Alcatel-Lucent NRS II – Frame Relay and ATM Services — Question 14

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding 6VPE?

Answer options

• A. 6VPE is a tunneling technology that makes use of MPLS tunnels to transport IPv6 information over an IPv4 MPLS infrastructure.
• B. Customers connected to 6VPE could run native IPv6 or IPv4.
• C. On the PE router, the next hop for a VPN IPv6 address is an IPv6 address, regardless of the nature of the network between the PEs.
• D. 6VPE requires an IPv6-aware MPLS core.
• E. Both C and D are false.
• F. All of the above statements are true.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because 6VPE does indeed require an IPv6-aware MPLS core to function properly. Statement A is true as it describes the tunneling process accurately, B is also true as it indicates the flexibility for customers, and C is true because the next hop for a VPN IPv6 address is indeed an IPv6 address, which makes D the only false statement.
