Agree.

How the CPU handles a thrashing table, or a returning full 
BGP v4 session while the CPU is doing other things 
(housekeeping, management, control, e.t.c.), 
thrashing/returning of multiple full v4 sessions, e.t.c. is 
what is more interesting.

Agree as well.

We ordered ours with the DFC's, but the boxes are running 
pure Layer 2 switching, so nothing exciting there.
