[j-nsp] EX2200 OSPF question

[Paul Stewart]

Hey BrandonŠ.

We had one scenario that comes to mind where we pushed 600Mbps (layer3)
across an EX2200-C and it started dropping packets like crazy Š that was
on an "older" software image at the time which was prone to several other
problems so perhaps it was a software related issue.  We never went back
to that box for the routing requirements to verify so hopefully someone
else can chime in to share their experiences.  Typically we only use them
for layer2Š

Cheers,

Paul
