Well, my company does have implementations which omit the control word, so that's not it ;-) We're in a situation now in which we have things that don't work so well together (core routers doing ECMP with MPLS, edge routers doing pseudowires without a martini control word). If we want everything to work together, something has to give, and it's not going to be something in the core ;-) |
