In this context, these are all distributed platforms, they have multiple NPUs and fabric. Centralised has a single forwarding chip, and significantly more ports than bandwidth.
So to clarify your definition of "centralized", even if there is no replaceable fabric, and the line cards communicate via a fixed fabric ASIC, you'd still define that as a distributed platform?
By your definition, you are speaking about fixed form factor platforms with neither a replaceable fabric nor fabric ASIC, like the MX204, ASR920, ACX7024, 7520-IXR, e.t.c.?
