[j-nsp] Juniper MX Virtual chassis

[Xuhu]

A lot of customer using vc, benefits as below:
Benefits of Configuring a Virtual Chassis
Configuring a Virtual Chassis for MX Series routers provides the following benefits:

Simplifies network management of two routers that are either colocated or geographically dispersed across a Layer 2 point-to-point network.
Provides resiliency against network outages and protects member routers against access link failures, uplink failures, and chassis failures without visibly disrupting attached subscribers or increasing the network management burden for service providers.
Extends the high availability capabilities of applications such as graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) and nonstop active routing (NSR) beyond a single MX Series router to both member routers in the Virtual Chassis.
Enables service providers to fulfill strict service level agreements (SLAs) and avoid unplanned network outages to better meet their customers’ needs.
Provides the ability to scale bandwidth and service capacity as more high-priority voice and video traffic is carried on the network.

Hello there,

Does anybody have MX routers in Virtual Chassis configuration used in production? How it performs in terms of stability compared to standalone MX?

We are planning to setup some redundancy scheme for two of our POPs and in process of choosing between Virtual Chassis, MC-LAG, or just some sort of MPLS ring.

Our MX boxes used to be MPLS PE routers providing VPLS and VRF, and also acting as BRAS for our GPON customers.

Thanks in advance.
