 match clns also appears to work in VXR, but is not supported. I've
personally been bitten in past by delpoying things that work (at that time)
but are not supported, which I try to avoid now as much as possible. Only
it's quite tedious to figure out what should work and what should not,
especially with GSR typically only DE can answer the questions :/
 I would only use CoPP with features that Cisco explicitly claims 
to support.
