Funny, I think we did the same thing. It’s not worth waiting ?? - 48 months for Enhancement Requests to manifest in software. Even when they do, you have to wait for the bugs to be discovered and fixed, too. Are you planning to discard the dsc interface (ha!), as we have done? Br,

Hi Jason, Yes we (large ISP) tried using dsc interfaces (MX series) to count RTBH traffic and found, 1) they don't count, and 2) IPv6 is unsupported for dsc. As with many Junos features, there is not parity between IPv4 and IPv6. That alone bugged us, but especially as the counters did not work,
