This disclosure describes techniques for migrating nodes from a first communication protocol to a second communication protocol. An example method is performed by a software-defined wide area network (SDWAN) controller. The example method includes identifying nodes in a network; identifying features associated with the nodes; identifying Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)-incompatible features among the features; and outputting, to a user, a list of the IPv6-incompatible features. The example method further includes receiving, from the user, a selection of nonessential features including at least one of the IPv6-incompatible features; identifying at least one of the nodes corresponding to the selection; and causing migration of the at least one of the nodes to IPv6.

Coordinated migration of a network to a communication protocol

Hybrid mode multicast routing may be provided. A switching device may receive a first join. Next, in response to receiving the first join, states for a first protocol mode (e.g., (S, G)) that is source aware and state for a second protocol mode (e.g., (*, G)) that is not source aware may be programed. Then a second join may be sent based on the states associated with the second protocol mode (e.g., (*, G)).
