Cisco on NCS devices have full support of SRv6 F1 (End, End.X, End.T, End.DX4, End.DT4, End.DX6, End.DT6, End.DX2, with PSP/USD or USP, H.Encaps.*), without any EVPN (so not End.DT2U AFAIK), from 7.2, depending on hardware (Jericho 2-based platforms need 7.5). There may be hardware restriction on the smaller NCS (NCS540). However, Cisco is switching to SRv6 F3216, aka microsegments. The same behaviours are supported. Beware there is a gap between being on the datasheet and not running into various bugs. Staying close to what Cisco promotes will help avoiding some bugs. With ISIS as an IGP, there is also support for TI-LFA and FlexAlgo. Juniper supports SRv6 F1 on MX, with the same feature set. Nokia supports it too on the 7750 SR. No support from Arista yet.

This is still super young and you restrict the number of vendors you can select and interoperate with. Also note that SRv6 F3216 RFC is not out yet and Cisco is already asking customers to move away from SRv6 F1. AFAIK, other vendors are still on F1. Starting with SRv6 now may be a bit of a gamble because of that.

That's correct. -- Use library functions. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger)
