Fernando Fernandez Mancera chairs this BoF which explores the feasibility of a standalone IPv6 Linux kernel, decoupling it from its current mandatory dependency on the IPv4 stack. The BoF presenters will share an experimental implementation, analyze its impact on architecture and performance, and seek community feedback on an upcoming RFC to identify potential blockers for upstream integration. cheers, jamal
