[j-nsp] software version to use?

[Chris Kawchuk]

Hi Matthias,

A customer of mine just installed 9.6R1.13 on 2 x J6350's doing  
exactly what you describe (i.e. JunOS in "Routing" (non-secure mode),  
doing a series of eBGP peering and some iBGP, some OSPF area 0.0.0.0  
stuff, etc...) Works great - no issues.

9.6 Offers the possibility of doing mixed "flow-mode" and "packet- 
mode" based on protocol, filter, or interfaces; meaning you can take  
advantage of the "Security" based flow/services/ALGs etc. on a J,  
while also enabling regular packet-mode throughput for the majority of  
your traffic (thus not running into any scaling limitations in terms  
of the session/flow table).

Regards,

- Chris.
