It's a BGP-free core, swapping labels at high-speed for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic in MPLS frames. So no fancy bits needed. Also, the 8200 doesn't support 10Gbps ports, which I still need. This is only supported on the 8800, which is too big and too bulky. > or > NCS 55xx (cheap 10/40/100/200G ifaces)? Broadcom! But more importantly, my trust level in Cisco's long-term ambitions in the industry are at an all-time low. I just don't feel that Cisco have sufficient integrity within their business for me to sleep well at night, relying on them to have my best interests at heart, over a 5- to 10-year period. > I’m trying to preach IPv6 for two decades right now.

I have never believed in tunneled IPv6. I have ran native dual-stack infrastructure in all the networks I built in Africa, Asia-Pac, and Europe, in the last 20 years. This is the driving force behind my need for LDPv6, as I do not believe in 6PE. And one of the many reasons I am moving on from Cisco to other vendors that appreciate this philosphy, rather than finding ways to keep milking money from customers through CGN's, vendor-managed services, and such.
