I don't think that's a fair assumption. A few providers I talked to
for a security current practiced document I am writing said they were
deploying it between BGP peers and I recently asked for more
clarification from some individuals to ensure I had correct info with
respect to vendors. There is some support in some J boxes and also
support in C boxes. I didn't get specific detail how it was
deployed, just that is was.
