That doesn't help if you already have your Cisco gear deployed :)

As a side note: IOS-XR on ASR9k states to
support draft-ietf-idr-flowspec-redirect-ip, but what they missed is
implementing the C (copy) bit feature to duplicate packets to a tcpdump
host in our case. Instead it just silently ignores the copy bit and
redirects all packets leaving the real dst inaccessible.

That's why we were now looking at spanning the port with an ACL applied
that we dynamically adjust via netconf... But yet another fail. Looks like
we still have to use ssh / cli input in our scripts in 2016.
