I've been pushing Cisco and Juniper since 2007 for LDPv6 and 
RSVPv6 since 2007. I kept getting non-commital "end of this 
year, end of this year".

After catching up with Cisco during an update of the ASR9000 
a couple of weeks back, I'm meant to understand support will 
be coming around Q1'13 on this platform (which, by 
association, might mean other IOS XR platforms like the 
CRS). It's not clear about other Cisco systems, but I'll be 
pleasantly surprised if they maintain the time lines.

All this despite the fact that drafts have been out for 
years.

Mark.
