Good to hear.

The main things that have typically been an issue for us on 
Broadcom-based boxes have been:

     - Egress policing (trTCM).
     - uRPF (IPv4/IPv6).
     - Ingress/Egress marking (Policy Map a la Junos).
     - EVC + VLAN Tag Rewrite (push, pop, swap).
     - IPv4/IPv6 interface ACL's (should be pretty doable now).
     - LDPv6 (not chip related, just code).

Has your experience on Arista been that all those work?

We have a ton of Arista hardware, but we just use it purely for Layer 2 
switching.

Mark.
