By IA_TA support, do you mean the ability for the 7206VXR to act as the =

with DHCPv6 relay.

This is same solution they've given for the 7206 and other traditional=20

supposedly IA_TA support for DHCPv6 will be in the ASR only. The=20

If I find myself having to spend money on ASRs, I may just spend the=20
money replacing them with Juniper. Only reason I haven't is that I=20
haven't needed to spend the money at all.
