[e-nsp] Metro L2: Summit X150 versus X250e

I'm evaluating Extreme gear for a metro ethernet ring; the ring
devices will be L2 only. Desirable features:
- EAPS (datasheets list both as capable)
- ACLs (datasheets list both as capable)
- Ingress and Egress rate limiting (ingress is OK, about egress the
datasheets are somewhat confusing)
- Ethernet CFM (X250e datasheet lists 802.1ag CFM, but X150 doesn't...)
- Ethernet OAM (neither lists 802.3ah as a feature)

As Ethernet CFM/OAM are both control plane implementations, I would
expect to see both boxes implementing it... what are the facts on
current ExtremeXOS versions on X150 and X250e ?

Any other metro features and one or either boxes are missing ?


Tks,
Rubens
