Connectors are encouraged take advange of several areas of advanced networking. This includes large MTU's (>=9000), as
well as support for IPv6 and Multicast. We track the individual connectors support of these three areas of advanced
technology. We track the connectors speed & MTU from their interface. IPv6 support is determined by the existance of
a valid 2001 or 3ffe IPv6 address on a connectors interface. Multicast support is guaged by the existence of a PIM
neighbor relationship on the connectors interface.
Some connectors will not support certain areas of advanced technology by the very nature of their connection. For
example, a Multicast research network would not support IPv6, just as an IPv6-only research network would not support
Multicast.
