Hi Curtis.

I ran 6.2.3 on a IOS-XR nV edge cluster in production used for BNG for about 6 months before splitting the device to two individual devices. I have also had 6.4.2 on a cluster in the lab. These worked more or less fine. The feedback from my SE and the BU was that the software is not fully regression tested in all combinations of hardware and software on the higher software version. The feature has not been removed.

I also had a few TAC cases during this period and was not directly declined or denied help so it is not impossible to do, at your own risk and as always ymmv.

The aggregate QOS feature comes available in 6.0.1 which is extremely
useful in carrier PE environments (specifically 9001 clustered routers).
Prior to this the aggregate QoS feature one would have to rely on LACP
hot-standby to avoid having a shaper applied to all bundle members
potentially resulting in an incorrect shaper/policer on bundle interface or
sub-interface.

Has anyone actually ran nV edge cluster devices on 6.X.X devices? Does it
work well, any caveats? Again... please put aside the "official
documentation". I am interested to know if it will actually run.
