<font face="Tahoma">So, I have it on good authority that from
release 21.7.R1, Nokia not only introduces LDPv6 to their IXR
platform, but also provides native support for l2vpnv6 and l3vpnv6
signaling.<br>
<br>
AFAIK, Cisco and Juniper only support mpls2ip forwarding for
LDPv6, and all other VPN services can only be signaled via LDPv4
only. <br>
<br>
So Nokia are able to natively signal the following VPN services
via LDPv6:<br>
<br>
- EoMPLS (p2p + p2mp)<br>
- VPLS (mp2mp)<br>
- l3vpn (BGP)<br>
- EVPN (mp2mp)<br>
- BGP-LU<br>
<br>
It's unclear whether this has been tested against their own
platforms (IXR and SR), but I'd imagine inter-op should not be an
issue since it's the same shared code, despite different chip
sets. <br>
<br>
For me, this is a good solution toward fixing the issues
identified in RFC 7439, which bodes well for operators who have
had to hold back their IPv6-only ambitions due to this. <br>
<br>
I hope other vendors can jump onboard, whenever they choose to.<br>
