Not exactly CRS-3, but in one deployment of ASR9k with Eth-Bundles we've
used both WANPHY and OTU2e  in order to speed up link error detection. From
what we've gathered for single (non-bundle) links WANPHY and OTN2e is
always faster and what's more important can start the switchover when
errors reach certain level, not after the link failed completely.
