Same BU, and documentation will get better as the product 
becomes more mainstream.

This once, actually, I'd rather they focus on keeping this 
box as an FTTH AN. Perhaps if operators are horny for 
similar features to the ME3600X in this platform, Cisco can 
develop a version for the same (they can do that as a 
software license so the hardware remains the same).

But given this is merchant silicon, don't expect the same 
level of MPLS performance and/or feature set as you get in 
the ME3600X/3800X. It can be quite annoying if you are 
looking for feature parity between the two, in the same 
working scenario, and you don't get it.

But that's just me :-)...
