Do you think we can start discussion with big vendors (Cisco/Juniper) ? Mark Tinka ha scritto:

I think this (LPD over ipv6) is not a customer (isp/carrier) demand but a real problem when RIRs stop to allocate ipv4 addresses. How ISP/Carriers can build a new mpls backbone If big vendor not support the IPv6 over LDP and isp can't make request for new ipv4 blocks ?
Given how much money vendors are making from MPLS, it might be safe to say they'll have support for it when v4 runs out. The only question is which customer will be big enough for them to get it in there :-).
My main concern is, given how much traffic is being carried by MPLS today (for better or worse), the earlier vendors put out native support for it in v6, the quicker bugs can be worked out. Even if support became available today, I'd probably feel safer not deploying it at least 3 releases from when it's launched, looking at the current state of v6 debug (or lack thereof) for folk that have deployed it.
Cheers,
Mark.
