Routing Engine status:

Officially "supported" though are only 2GB nowadays, as far as I'm aware.
So: kids, do try this only at home (just like me). :-) I cannot say
wether this (4x1G) runs stable, but I saw 2G (2x1G) and 2.5G (2x1G + 2x256M)
J2320 running fine for many months with multiple full BGP tables.

It's just product management. Just like the BGP route reflection
dongle key. JNPR knows those boxes are very interesting for "small/mid BGP
demand" networks as central route reflectors, so they squeeze some more
money out of these deployments. Unfortunately, folks NOT using the
routers in such a setup but occasionally need some route reflection
are... "colateral damage". Been there, still suffering from that.

Best regards,
Daniel
