Q: We run an MPLS VPN network, global routing only used for management.
According to this document (which should also cover 12.2SX):

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipv6/configuration/guide/ip6-ov_mpls_6vpe.html#wp1054029

6VPE supports an MPLS IPv4-signaled core. An MPLS IPv6-signaled core
is not supported.

We have to keep an IPv4 core then? I guess the important part is to
enable IPv6 for the users and services, but (excuse my french) it seems
a little half-assed to not support an IPv6 core. Especially MPLS being
what it is.


Why don't keep it ipv4?
If you run MPLS VPN netowork i don't see why you want something else in core.
MPLS don't care about ipv4/6 and PE just assign labels for prefix/vpn and distribute it to other PEs.

For me it looks like double security here, if your core has no ipv6 i can't be accessed (read: hacked) from outside ipv6 world/vpns.
