There was this document I cannot remember (RFC3627?), in which I read there
were some concerns on using /127 for links which endpoints belong to
different vendors. This was due, IIRC, to the possible differences in
subnet-router anycast address treatment/implementation.

I think it was a rather old document, and perhaps the operational
experience mentioned in RFC6164 includes this interoperability issues.

Did any of you have problems running /127s? Do they still persist in modern
equipment?

TIA
