Hi all, But if you read the documentation again, you see that vlan-steering and sa-multicast are only workarounds to balance traffic going through old 100-Gigabit Ethernet type 4 PIC model number PD-1CE-CFP-FPC4 (T-series interface), which was designed with two 50Gb/s PFE, unlike more modern PICs (type 5 on T-series) and, more important, unlike MX MPC3E and its MICs.
Sa-multicast is a trick usable on Juniper gears toward an FPC4 to use ethernet MACs tricks (setting source MAC multicast bit to 1 on about half the flows), so the FPC4 can balance received frames between its two PFE. Vlan-steering is a trick usable on an FPC4 to balance vlan IDs between its two PFE, if the facing router doesn't support sa-multicast trick/workaround/patch-up. So, basically, on MX with MPC3E facing ASR (or MX/MPC facing MX/MPC): there's nothing special to do in this case, since it's completely unrelated.
