I think the future of an IPv6 control plane for MPLS is in SR. To be honest, I wouldn't bother developing LDPv6 or RSVPv6 with SR on the horizon, if I were a vendor in-tune with the times.
Sure; SR looks like a more natural fit for MPLS than LDP ever was in hindsight. That said, it looks better for IS-IS users than OSPF, due to needing OSPF & OSPFv3 or OSPFv3 dual-AF which is not well supported.
Obviously people will have to move their vpnv6 BGP AFs to their IPv6 BGP RR sessions, which is a bit of a drag, but that's what peer templates are for (on sensible OSes).
It is for such reasons that I don't like today's breed of MPLS-biased forwarding engines (like Cisco's LSP for the CRS, and some of Juniper's PTX line cards), because they all assume everything is encapsulated in MPLS, including IPv6
That's an excellent point. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
