Questions about the Juniper QFX5100 family

What do AFO and AFI mean on a QFX5100?
They name the airflow. AFO parts such as the QFX5100-FAN-AFO move air front to back (AIR OUT); AFI parts such as the QFX5100-FAN-AFI move air back to front (AIR IN). Fans and power supplies of the two airflows cannot be mixed in one chassis.Sources: QFX5100 Ethernet Switch Datasheet, EX4600 Switch Hardware Guide
What latency does the QFX5100 have?
Juniper's datasheet gives latency as low as 550 ns.Source: QFX5100 Ethernet Switch Datasheet
What is the QFX5100-24Q-AA?
The 24 port QSFP+ QFX5100 with the enhanced CPU: a quad-core Intel CPU, 32 GB of DRAM and a 128 GB SSD. The standard QFX5100-24Q has a 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU, 8 GB of memory and a 32 GB SSD.Source: QFX5100 Ethernet Switch Datasheet
