[j-nsp] What's the latest code you're running on a mx?

[Derick Winkworth]

Ahh, so 10.1 is needed  then for the MX80 I'm guessing...  We'll be testing those soon in a POC where they will run VPLS, RSVP, COS, BGP, and L3VPNs...

We just tested 10.0R3 on MX and it was a giant hot steaming mess. Among
other problems, they broke "| last" in cli, isis overload timeout no
longer functions (would never time out, stayed overloaded forever), and
there was some as yet undetermined issue with RSVP/call admission where
LSPs could not transit through the 10.0R3 device even though there was
plenty of bandwidth available and no policy preventing it. We ended up
downgrading back to 9.6S5 (which instantly solved all of the above),
where the biggest problem we've had so far is a chassisd bug which
causes this false warning every time you commit:

chassisd[1305]: %DAEMON-3-UI_CONFIGURATION_ERROR: Process: chassisd, 
path: [edit groups BASE-FORWARDING forwarding-options hash-key family], 
statement: inet6, Could not retrieve the route-accounting setting

Which would just be annoying/log filling, if not for the fact that
netconf interprets it as a hard error and rolls back the remotely
triggered commit. 

Considering you need 10.1 to run the new MX Trio cards, and 10.2 to make
them interoperate with older DPCs in the same chassis, I expect a lot of
people are going to be very unhappy very soon when they're forced to
upgrade. :)
