A good distinction. Juniper has implementations that run on the "linecard CPU" and some that are built into the ASIC. I don't know whether it's worth distinguishing the variants in the model. For both of these cases, Juniper calls it "distributed". However, "running on the linecards/forwarding plane" is a reasonable approximation. -- Jeff
