<br>
I would not recommend to use this code. We tried it on a MLXe-8. We<br>
just did a downgrade this morning because we ran into memory issues.<br>
First we were not able to connect via SSH to the IPv6 loopback address<br>
(v4 worked), later we were not able to connect via IPv4 as well. And<br>
finally we did not get any SNMP output anymore. Since the downgrade<br>
it's running stable again.<br>
<br>
We run BGP/OSPF/MPLS-LDP (VPLS/VLL)/IPv4 and IPv6 unicast BGP.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I did not have the time to look deeper into it.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Markus<br>
