For the ACX line, what is the Maximum number of MPLS labels in a packet’s
label stack (push, pop, and swap operations)? Specifically, mostly
interested in the ACX5048 and ACX2200's

I found the following chart for the QFX line, and it was extremely helpful.
I haven't been able to find the same information for the ACX Line however:
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/reference/general/mpls-scaling-values-qfx-series.html


Can anyone confirm or deny if the ACX5048's hardware is identical to the
QFX5100? My understanding is they run a different JUNOS load on them, but
hardware wise they are extremely similar. On the hardware side, is there
anything in the ACX5048 that would allow more  MPLS labels in a packet’s
label stack than the QFX5100?

For the ACX line, do they support streaming telemetry? I am not sure
exactly what to look for on the streaming telemetry support for the ACX. I
basically just want to see realtime interface and optical stats. Which JTI
feature is that?

For the ACX5000, there are only 3 items listed under the Junos Telemetry
Interface section.

For comparison, the QFX 5100 shows 21 different features under the JTI
Section:

Which feature am I looking for? Yes, I know this will require a collector
of some sort.
