Sorry not able to help you, not running N7K. Just rambling here.

I wonder why these HW/SW programming mismatches are so common in PFC devices.
I like 6500/7600, great bang for buck, but we still see at least bimonthly box
simply forwarding incorrectly, luckily box also delivers good debugging tools,
like ELAM.

For what problematic old fashioned architecture/design JunOS has, I've only
ever seen similar programming issues due to ISSU in JunOS.

I also don't see these issues in other Cisco kits, CRS1, ASR1k, ASR9k. I
wonder if CSCO has recognized the same, or are these issues just treated as
independent bugs rather than indication of some larger problem.
Or am I seeing pattern where none exists?
