We have been running it on two of our most important border routers
for 47 and 32 days, respectively, and it has been working fine for us
so far.

One RSP720+WS-X6704-10GE/DFC-3BXL+WS-X6516A-GBIC+WS-X6748-GE-TX,
one Sup720-3BXL+WS-X6704/DFC-3BXL+WS-X6516A-GBIC.

Both routers have several (30-100) external BGP peerings (IPv4 and
IPv6).  One of the routers also forwards significant amounts of IPv4
multicast traffic.

We upgraded to SRC because previous versions (SRB1/SRB2) had issues
with the DFCs stopping to export Netflow (NDE) after a few (1-9)
weeks.  It's still too early to say whether this was fixed in SRC, but
so far so good.  At least we didn't find any new show-stopping issues.
