High-end IP routing features (which includes MPLS) have always attracted additional costs on what are meant to be Layer 2/3 switches.

Isn't the argument here that if it's in most chip sets already it might reasonably be expected to be a standard low end feature by now, along with IPv6? That it isn't may be why people are open to SRv6 (I'm assuming some are based on this discussion) - if they have to pay extra they only want to do so where they are generating revenue from it, the end points. Complexity and architectural cleanliness are not a consideration, if a vendor makes a box that does the job at the right price there is a high risk people will buy it. brandon
