Thank you Joel. Do you see any limits on ACL+PBR for CES?

Yes, we had a substantial FESX network and last year swapped it out for
a CES and XMR network. The FESX boxes worked well until pushed.
Utilizing advanced features such as MRP, UDLD, OSPF, and BGP on them
simultaneously showed their limitations. The CES uses dual CPUs, one for
the linecard and one for the management processing, so it handles those
advanced protocols much better. Our network is now far more stable than
it was with the FESX equipment. Not to mention the expanded and improved
feature support.
