When we switched our P devices to PTX1000 and PTX10001, we've had surprisingly good performance of all manner of traffic across native IP/MPLS and 802.1AX links, even without explicitly configuring FAT for EoMPLS traffic.

PTX and MX as LSR look inside pseudowire to see if it's IP (dangerous guess to make for LSR), CSR/ASR9k does not. So PTX and MX LSR will balance your pseudowire even without FAT. I've had no problem having ASR9k LSR balancing FAT PWs. However this is a bit of a sidebar, because the original problem is about elephant flows, which FAT does not help with. But adaptive balancing does. -- ++ytti
