If it's really a policer, then I would be a bit surprised about the
reasons why it needs the following conditions to be true to kick in:

- the source of the pings *must* be a loopback
- the packet size must be between 4 and 7 Byte less than the configured
   MTU
- there needs to be another ME3600X acting as LSR between the ping
   source and ping destination (A-B-C)
- it's only dropping 1 out of 70 pings approximately, and it varies.

Thanks for your investigation!
