In this post we explore how you can use AWS Cloud WAN Connect with Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) Tunnels and Multi-protocol BGP (MP-BGP) for Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing of IPv6 networks. We also cover route verification and failover testing best practices. Many HAQM Web Services (AWS) users are increasingly adopting IPv6 and Software-Defined Wide […]

While the cloud’s elasticity reduces the need for […]
