-|Use Case / Requirement |Supported in Kilo Neutron|Notes |
-+===========================================================+=========================+====================================================================+
-|All topologies work in a multi-tenant environment |Yes |The IPv6 design is following the Neutron tenant networks model; |
-| | |dnsmasq is being used inside DHCP network namespaces, while radvd |
-| | |is being used inside Neutron routers namespaces to provide full |
-| | |isolation between tenants. Tenant isolation can be based on VLANs, |
-| | |GRE, or VXLAN encapsulation. In case of overlays, the transport |
-| | |network (and VTEPs) must be IPv4 based as of today. |
-+-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
-|IPv6 VM to VM only |Yes |It is possible to assign IPv6-only addresses to VMs. Both switching |
-| | |(within VMs on the same tenant network) as well as east/west routing|
-| | |(between different networks of the same tenant) are supported. |
-+-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
-|IPv6 external L2 VLAN directly attached to a VM |Yes |IPv6 provider network model; RA messages from upstream (external) |

-| | |on the ``sriovnicswitch`` ML2 driver is expected to work with IPv4 |
-| | |and IPv6 enabled VMs. We need to verify if it works or not |
-+-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
-|Additional IPv6 extensions, for example: IPSEC, IPv6 |**No** |It does not appear to be considered yet (lack of clear requirements)|
-|Anycast, Multicast | | |

-|VM access to the meta-data server to obtain user data, SSH |**No** |This is currently not supported. Config-drive or dual-stack IPv4 / |

-+-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
-|Full support for IPv6 matching (i.e., IPv6, ICMPv6, TCP, |Yes | |

-|IPv6 security group capabilities via Neutron/Nova API (REST| | |
-|and CLI) as well as via Horizon. | | |

-|be supported via Neutron API (REST and CLI) as well as via | |* ``ipv6-address-mode``: to determine how VM obtains IPv6 address, |

-+-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
-|Protect tenant and provider network from rough RAs |Yes |When using a tenant network, Neutron is going to automatically |
-| | |handle the filter rules to allow connectivity of RAs to the VMs only|
-| | |from the Neutron router port; with provider networks, users are |
-| | |required to specify the LLA of the upstream router during the subnet|
