IOS-XE is here to stay :) Indeed, there’s “dumbed down” version of it for 
SD-WAN, and they’re being slowly unified with normal IOS-XE being adopted to 
work in “centralized” (vs “autonomous”) mode. That’s not “autonomous” like with 
the Autonomic Networking feature from some years back, it’s “normal” IOS-XE.

From hardware perspective, yes, UADP (Catalyst/switches) and QFP 
(Catalyst/ASR/routers) can handle a lot of fancy QoS duties, and doing pps/bps 
at the same time would be just enhancement. PPS limit for normal traffic seems 
to be less popular as Customers usually care more about bandwidth/throughput 
than PPS, while PPS is *very* important and more applicable for Control-Plane 
protection duties, as all processing is PPS-bound obviously.

@James - please reach out to your account team to request such feature.
