There is a fundamental product limitation.  CoS on Cascade port  for MX is not officially supported as well QFX acting as AD.
I agree with those who perceive all these approaches as  proprietary lock-in (disguised as cheap).

Hi there,

About Juniper Fusion PE and our experience with it.

For example, you can't get SNMP oids for light levels or even read them right from the CLI.
Sure itâ??s possible but also with a big â??mehâ??. Here is how:
"show interfaces diagnostics optics satellite <interface>â?? (<- on the MX)
BUT at least with MX Junos 16.1R7 and aligned SAT Image aka SNOS these values are wrong
by a pretty big offset. Juniper promised they already fixed it but we canâ??t confirm (at least not in MX Junos 16.1).
Soon we will take a look at MX Junos 17.3 with aligned sat image.

 I've also heard you can have them do local L2 forwarding, which can be nice for latency and conserving uplink bandwidth, but we don't do any L2 that way so I wouldn't know the implications
Same thing here â?¦ we donâ??t really need it. At least itâ??s on the roadmap and/or already implemented with higher Junos/SNOS versions.
