ACE Application Control Engine Software Release A5(1.0) delivers IPv6
capabilities on the Cisco ACE30 Module and the Cisco ACE4710 Appliance, allowing
customers to seamlessly migrate their networks as the demand for IPv6 traffic
increases. To facilitate provisioning and end-to-end management of all new features,
Cisco ACE Software Release A5(1.0) is also supported by the Cisco Application
Network Manager (ANM) 5.1 management platform.

New Features in Cisco ACE Software Release A5(1.0)
Cisco ACE Software Release A5(1.0) adds to existing features in the Cisco ACE A4(2.x) software and supports a
unified architecture across the Cisco ACE30 Module and Cisco ACE4710 Appliance. It is not supported on the
Cisco ACE10 or ACE20 Modules, and consequently there is no IPv6 support available or planned for these
platforms.
Table 1 summarizes the new features in Cisco ACE Software Release A5(1.0).

Dual-Stack IPv4 and IPv6
implementation
implementation
●
A dual-stack approach to IPv6 enables Cisco ACE to support both
IPv4-to-IPv4 and IPv6-to-IPv6 load balancing
●
Cisco ACE also supports IPv6 to IPv4 translation (bidirectional)
●
All deployment models (one-armed, routed, bridge mode, NAT, DSR)
are supported with very little loss of performance for IPv4 traffic.
