That's not at all surprising. PBR would be pretty hard to push into a hardware forwarding path. Not impossible, but certainly challenging.
Doesn't the SUP-720(PFC3B) support (some forms of) PBR in hardware ?
As has been pointed out to me privately, the SUP-720 does flow cache PBR support. Now, if you consider a flow cache to be acceptable performance, and the flow descriptor fits within the policies that you wanna write and you fit within the performance boundaries of a SUP-720, well, that may be a suitable solution.
