[j-nsp] MX960 JunOS recommendations

[Krzysztof Szarkowicz]

JUNOS uses native IPv4 packets to send BGP messages. IOS uses IPv4 encapsulated in MPLS when LDP
without tricks is enabled to send BGP messages.

That are defaults, which can be changed of course.

Are you sur you mean MPLS MTU?  

There is only one BGP session between a set of peers, even if you have
several address families. I always thought this used a regular L3
protocol like IP (could be exhanged with v6 in the future).
