[j-nsp] Juniper BRAS

[Paul Stewart]

If your SE is not aware of the software issues etc - feel free to reach out
to me.... we've invested a lot of time recently dealing with MX subscriber
PPPOE issues and worked with Juniper a lot on this.

Hi!

I hope our SE will have the insight to provide us with such suggestions.

We will use some MX5 for core and border routers, but one will provide PPPoE
in some time. So it is not a must thing now, and perhaps some new software
releases will provide better service in this matter.
