They seem to work ok with 5.x, but its been widely reported that 4.x has serious problems. Given that 5.x is still a ways off from matching the performance of 4.x, those of us with production networking devices are unable to move up to the latest hardware while we wait for 5.4 or 5.5 or whatever. Its becoming a big problem. TM
