What is "high-touch edge" for you?

Most things we could come up with do work, with the notable exception
of MAC accounting (or inclusion of MAC addresses in sflow/ipfix) - but
here the ASR9000 is one of the few platforms on the market that can 
actually do it.  So more of a chip limitation.

We don't do extremely demanding QoS things, but basic shaping and policing
works fine on the new J2c+ boxes.  So not sure where the limits are.

Of course it's merchant silicon boxes, but the J2c chips have become
really impressive.
