When we start migrating to IPv6, wouldn't state-aware forwarding be required for a good part of the traffic that is being translated from customer IPv6 to a legacy IPv4 ? I'm a personal fan of topology-based forwarding, but this is limited to the address space of the topology we currently use, which is running out of space in a few years (few meaning whatever version of the IPv4 RIRs deadline you believe in).

Anyone have any experience with these Anagran flow routers? Are they that much of a departure from traditional routing that it makes a big difference? I haven't done a lot of research into flow-based routing at this point, but it sounds like this would be similar to the MPLS approach, no?
How about cost per port versus traditional routers from Cisco or Juniper? It seems that he cites cost as the main point of contention, so are these Anagran routers truly less expensive?
