With server virtualization you can deploy an application to any physical server in your environment easily because the Server OS that the application resides on is abstracted from the network. It streamlines server deployments because you can now deploy servers based on templates with almost no regard to the underlying hardware.

These protections are also expensive to implement in hardware. For Carrier Ethernet, Cisco ME3600—a very expensive switch—will allow you to implement such an architecture. This bypasses some IPv6 limitations because host routes are treated in hardware like ND cache entries (which means you get something like 32K entries).
