The last I heard (in the past month) was that this was a 2014 roadmap 
item.  I don't if it's EC'd for a specific version yet, nor do I know what 
platforms will be supported.  My guess would be ASR9K/1K, Nexus 7K, maybe 
the CRS, 6500/Sup2T and 7600.

That's better than the "We don't support BGP Flowspec" answer I got a year 
or so ago.  When I explained that Cisco co-authored RFC 5575, they seemed 
to soften their stance a bit ;)

It would also be great if Flowspec support on the ASAs was planned as 
well, since they'd make for handy Flowpsec triggers if you're in a Cisco 
shop.  Also desirable would be compatibility with Juniper's 
implementaiton.
