[c-nsp] IOS XR BVI

[Natambu Obleton]

Anyone using BVIs and l2vpn on IOS XR for routing interfaces? I am running into some strange issue in an attempt to put 4 ASR9k's into production on my network, but only on ipv4. I am having no issues with Ipv6 and OSPFv3, yet..The last reference I can find to BVI in a IOS XR 4.0.1 and it says, that a lot of features are not supported including IPv6. I went through the release notes up to 4.2.1 and the only reference is the support of ACL's on BVI. Yet, in troubleshooting I am unable to get ipv4 ACLs to work when applied to either the BVI interface or the l2transport interface.

Makes me want to just avoid them all together, but to implement card redundancy in our current configuration the BVI is needed. Thanks.
