This was on Trio and sorry I should have clarified we did test with default L3+L4 keys on MPLS labelled packets -default in Junos (as baseline).
And then repeated the test using flow labels -which forced Trio to ignore the L3+L4 keys and act solely on flow label.
PPS performance wise we couldn’t really tell the difference (was in the noise).
