>Has anyone tried this on the 25xx series routers
Yes (the 12.0-based beta).
Ethernet, serial lines, tunnels and load-sharing.
>(or any router for that matter)?
Again, yes: 4500 (11.3 based and 12.0-based betas)
Ethernet, ATM, serial lines
>Does it support both IPv4 and IPv6?
It supports many things that you'd like to see reasonably well (should
I say: surprisingly well?!), others are still missing or not working in
one version or the next (e.g. there seems to be a loose end in v6 DNS).
>Is it stable?
It depends on what you throw at it :-)
It's still beta code (accessible by NDA) and sometimes you are in for a
surprise... But the same holds true for any and all v6 components that
we had put fingers at, both vendor-supported as well as open source :-)
Summary: Caution: wet paint!
