Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IPv6 running at "wire speed" implies that it is being processed very quickly, typically by specialized hardware designed for high-speed data processing. An Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) is designed for this purpose, enabling fast processing of IPv6 packets without the overhead that software processing introduces. CPUs, while capable of processing IPv6, are not as efficient as ASICs for wire-speed operations. Flash memory is used for storage, not processing, and running IPv6 in software would not achieve wire speed due to the higher processing overhead.
