[j-nsp] pfex: pfe_bcm sflow ipc error 0 on EX4300 VCs running sFlow

[Paul S.]

Hi,

That's basically my verdict too.

What's a comparable platform (48x1g, 4x10g) with comparable arp/mac 
limits (64k on these little boxes, I believe) that's priced well?

We also will need IS-IS/BGP support (For IGP purposes).
