Q

Can I run IPv4 and IPv6 on the same virtual interface (VIF)?

IPv6 Support in Direct Connect

AWS Direct Connect | Networking & Content Delivery

A

AWS Direct Connect supports both single and dual stack configurations on public and private VIFs. You will be able to add an IPv6 peering session to an existing VIF with IPv4 peering session (or vice versa). You can also create 2 separate VIFs – one for IPv4 and another one for IPv6
