If you're willing to wait, v6 support will come to the 
ME3600X/3800X around Q3 this year (of course, it's always 
hit & miss with these time lines, but thereabouts).

That's what we're doing, because really, this is a great 
platform. It actually seems to be a router with switching 
capabilities, and not your traditional Catalyst-type job.

On the policing end, it doesn't yet support egress, but that 
is coming. Meanwhile, you can do egress shaping, though.

It also won't hold a full view (256,000 entries), but 0/0 or 
::/0 should suffice. If you're MPLS-inclined, 'mpls ip 
default-route' is your friend too.

For us, in the long run, the platform works out, so we're 
willing to wait. But that may not be for you.

Cheers,

Mark.
