Why do you say ATS only works for IPv4 and doesn't support multiple IP
addresses on a single interface ? It certainly does the later. Both IPv4
and v6 addresses are accomodated in the ATS SR definition. Any IPv4ness
of the some ATS APIs (and the underlying implementation) need to be
enhanced for IPv6. That is on the TODO list.
