Assuming your addressing will continue to grow on IPv6, and=20
remain reasonably static on IPv4, your forklift should allow=20
you to remain native on both (on the basis that at that=20
time, we do have native control planes both for MPLSv4 and=20
MPLSv6, of course).

So "4|6PE" would not be necessary. Personally, I think it's=20
unnecessary labor to remove IPv4 in the future, especially=20
when it's not expanding. One is welcome to do this, of=20
course, if they are really bored :-).

Removing native IPv4 in the future only to replace it with=20
4PE seems quite complex, to me.

Turning on native IPv6 in your core is not adding=20
complexity, I think. Yes, agree that you may lose parity=20
between MPLS-TEv4 and TEv6 as of today, but some would say=20
that MPLS-TE adds quite a bit complexity today, especially=20
if used on a long-term basis.

Mark.
