[j-nsp] MX480 JunOS version.

[Derick Winkworth]

We tried 10.0S10 and S11, but there is a bug that drives CPU to 100% 
indefinitely if you have a large config (something to do with socket used to 
pass config info to various processes).  

10.0S9 doesn't have that bug, so that is what we are using now.  We have 
MPLS/RSVP/OSPF/BGP/RIP/NAT/GRE/IPSec/aggregated Ethernet/FBF on an M-120 and so 
far so good.  It definitely resolved a list of outstanding issues for us.

We are starting to deploy on MX now with similar features (minus services and 
RIP)...  It boots cleanly nothing in the logs that indicates weirdness.  Yet.

Also have a look at your processes and if you see jpppd stuck in Sigwait, 
disable that process with "set system processes ppp-service disable"  This is a 
PPP subcriber management demon.  If your not using it, kill the process.  Our 
commits are a lot faster now.

The simpler your network and the less features you use (and to some 
extent, the less observant you are :P), the less likely you are to run 
into bugs. You're also using the older DPC cards which are a lot more 
stable, the fun starts with the brand new MPC/Trio cards. If it ain't 
broke, why fix it. :)
