IOS XR-based systems operate the same way.
Of course this isn't strictly true, transit might be punted in either platform for various reasons, IP(v6) options comes to mind, possibly too many IPv6 extension headers (Cisco.com claims to punt in such instance, JNPR/trio (imho incorrectly) just drops packet in hardware), glean/arp resolve, multicast learning, probably many other reasons I can't think off. -- ++ytti
