2. Implementation Forms
2.1. Cisco Systems
Person filling out this form:
Kawika Chetron (kawika@cisco.com)
Implementation (Software Version):
IOS-XR 3.3
Does the implementation include all parts of the specification?
We implement the first and second paragraphs of section 3.
We have support for parallel peering sessions between the same
two peers, and as such, paragraph 3 is not applicable to our
implementation.
Are there parts of the specification that are unclear for
implementation?
No.
List other implementations that have been tested for
interoperability.
Certainly, IOS-XR has been tested extensively with IOS. I do not
know if this particular behavior has been covered in testing with
any other OS.
