Thanks for that information.

I have not yet heard  from the Juniper SE what he advises.

We have not yet started testing, but are planning to use
- v4 and v6 OSPF and BGP
- route reflector
- MPC only linecards, we have no DPC's

All in all pretty basic, feature wise..

We did have our first MPC crash today. (on 10.3)
Possibly related to enabling BGP.....

A second MPC is giving strange errors too. "fpc4 MQCHIP(3) FI Cell
underflow at the state stage"

I'll keep you updated on our findings.
