XR ipv4 unicast to ipv4 labelled-unicast BGP "redistribution"

gogie

In all my implementations I had problem that XR (5.x.x, 6.0.x) would NOT announce routes learned from BGP ipv4 unicast neighbor to BGP IPv4 labeled-unicast neighbor.
Something like this:

But now I am seeing that BGP indeed is announcing routes learned from plain BGP to LU neighbors on XR 6.1.3.
I need to understand, is it a bug, or is it intended behavior. The only evidence about it I found is this: (mentioning 6.2.x under 5.3 documentation)

Neighbor Address Family Combinations

For default VRF, starting from Cisco IOS XR Software Release 6.2.x, both IPv4 Unicast and IPv4 Labeled-unicast address families are supported under the same neighbor.

For non-default VRF, both IPv4 Unicast and IPv4 Labeled-unicast address families are not supported under the same neighbor. However, the configuration is accepted on the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router with the following error:

Can You please help to clarify?

Hello,

Back in 2013, ddts CSCuj19547 was raised to generate that message, as Cisco did not recommend having both unicast and labeled unicast sessions at the same time.

later on support was added via enhancement CSCva04669 to Support BGP unicast and labeled-unicast AFs on same session

Thanks
