[j-nsp] H-QoS support

[Eric Van Tol]

Hi all,
Can someone please confirm whether or not H-QoS is support on MX5 with a MIC-3D-20GE-SFP?  I can't believe all the searching I've had to do just to figure this out, where the various sources I've found give very confusing and obviously incorrect information about what's supported.  For instance, were you aware that the MX5/MX10/MX40/MX80 routers support 100G interfaces?

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/release-independent/junos/topics/reference/general/mx80-features.html

Neither did I - when did Juniper start shipping MX80s with a built-in MPC3E?  When you go here:

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos13.3/topics/usage-guidelines/cos-configuring-hierarchical-schedulers-for-cos.html

You see that "You can only use this configuration on MX Series routers or IQ2E PICs.", with no further explanation of which MICs and/or MPCs and/or MX hardware this is actually supported on.  Considering the MX80 is an "edge router", I would have assumed that H-QoS would be supported, but so far, it has not been my experience.  In addition, the datasheet for the MX80 (http://www.juniper.net/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000374-en.pdf) shows:

"Service provider router with separate control and forwarding functions to provide maximum scale and intelligent service delivery capabilities along with hierarchical quality of service (QoS)"

Why is finding out whether or not a feature is supported so goddamn difficult?
