What do WAN optimizers do with IPv6 traffic if they can only handle IPv4 traffic? Does the IPv6 traffic just get ignored and not-optimized or does it depend drastically on the vendor's technology?

If they can only handle IP4, then it gets ignored. The question doesn’t quite make sense. If it becomes “IPv4-mapped IPv6″, then it’s probably handled under normal IPv4 functions. You’d need to know details of the optimizers to have any confidence. — Tom
