again, honesty in the discussion, please. cherry-picking a particular HW chipset that you may have which may provides the necessary ucode budget for a few segments and then declaring victory is insufficient. just watch your installed base in your co-authoring SP networks (core, edge, DC) and ask yourself if the hardware upgrade in support of v6-sr is zero cost or > zero-cost and then look how big the upgrade cost is and then it becomes obvious that this cannot be glossed over. /hannes _______________________________________________ spring mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/spring
