Sorry for not making things clear but I was referring to the number of
logical interfaces per box. ;) Or JunOS does not create a sub-interface or
something similar to handle ATM VCs? The question is concerning in the sense
that if I would wish to create say another 3000 dot1q vlan subinterfaces on
my GigE, bringing it to total of 6000 interface descriptors, would this
work? (Not that I plan to do that, but I need to know logical/physical
limitations before I start engineering something)

SY,
