Hey,

Can you please provide
  - show filter dram
  - show filter hw X
  - show filter hw X show_term_info

I lost a fight with JTAC about whether the TCAM exhausting filter
should be a commit failure or not. Argument was along the line 'well
you can keep adding routes even if you exhaust TCAM, so this should be
the same'.
I'm absolutely certain there are many QFX and EX networks out there
with wildly different filters programmed than what they believe they
have.
