[f-nsp] Foundry/Juniper MPLS interoperability

[David Ball]

  Hi folks.  Didn't find much in the archives about this, so figured
I'd ask.  We have a T-series Juniper core, and are looking to deploy
some MPLS-enabled switches to our edge for some 100M/1000M customer
aggregation.  Devices will service a variety of VPLS, L3VPN, internet
and L2VPN/VLL customers.  Have been looking at Foundry's MLX series,
and also their XMR series as of this morning (due to various
CAM-related issues I found in the archives relating to the MLX when
multiple full BGP tables are being learned).
  Anyone experienced any problems with interoperability with Juniper?
Besides OSPF and BGP, they'd become a part of an LDP and RSVP mesh of
LSPs.  LDP-signalled VPLS is now supported in Juniper, so hopefully
they can agree in that regard, and in Martini-based L2VPNs/VLLs and
L2VPN/VRFs as well.
  I can't get one for testing until late Feb, so all I have to go on
right now is word of mouth.  Thanks for any experiences you may be
willing to share.
