That’s not “autonomous” like with the Autonomic Networking feature from some years back, it’s “normal” IOS-XE.

PPS limit for normal traffic seems to be less popular as Customers usually care more about bandwidth/throughput than PPS, while PPS is *very* important and more applicable for Control-Plane protection duties, as all processing is PPS-bound obviously.

Thanks, Lukasz.

But with respect, this is one of the reasons I am changing all our gear 
over to Juniper. The messaging from Cisco depends on who you speak to, 
and when. Last year with our AM team was horrible, trying to get 
features into the ASR920, and being told that the NCS540 is where all 
focus is going; so, sorry!

This may or may not have been true last year. This may or may not be 
true this year. But I can't build a business on this uncertainty.

I'm not moaning at you, just to be clear :-).

Mark.
