I don't understand the point of SRv6. What equipment can support IPv6 routing, but can't support MPLS label switching?
Maybe these inferior technologies will win, due to the marketing strength of DC solutions. Or maybe DC will later figure out the fundamental aspect in tunneling cost, and invent even-better-MPLS, which is entirely possible now that we have a bit more understanding how we use MPLS.
Looking back at history (VXLAN or the Google's Espresso "architecture") I'm not holding my breath for anything reasonable coming out of the DC camp.... adam
