Interesting I didn't know the NCS6K has a little brother, though it's a shame
it's not nPower based.
But since it appears to be a full blown MPLS router it certainly is an
interesting twist to DC architecture,
I'm thinking possibly running EVPN within DC all the way down to
Servers(virtual switch) instead of FP/TRILL/SPB or VXLAN in a DC
Cause to my knowledge currently there's no option for basically redistributing
ISIS to MP-BGP to realize all active data-plane forwarding between the DC and
MPLS core (as we know it from IP routing i.e per flow load-sharing not per VLAN
(not possible with SPB))
BGP control plane for VXLAN is the closest one but my understanding is it's not
quite there yet.
