IPv6 did not appear during profiling my simple dummy test and also a quick scan 
through the code did not reveal anything obvious on the unregister path which 
could be factorized.

BTW, it appears we don't have a route cache for IPv6. Right?

I known we will run into other scalability issues when we  will set IPv4/IPv6 
addresses, and that is one of the next items on my list to profile :)
