[j-nsp] J2320 as BGP router

[Jensen Tyler]

The BGP License is for Route reflectors only. All other BGP functions work. I have 17 or so J2350's running BGP with no extra licensing. They are only peered with Internet2 (26,000 in RIB), so I can't comment on usability for multiple Internet peers.

I think the BGP licensing for JunOS is quite ridiculous..

I've been looking at upgrading our small network to some J series routers and simply haven't, because as you said-- the price of the license is almost as much as the unit itself. what gives?
