[j-nsp] MS-MIC-16G Licenses

[Stepan Kucherenko]

We've bought JSAM licenses but it looks like they aren't enforced 
(yet?). I didn't even install them. Although I have to say its usage is 
low right now so I don't know if it will hold true later.

Default MX5 licenses are subscriber/l2tp/mobile ip and those probably 
are enforced.



As for what is better...it's hard to say. I know a fixed ISP doing CGN 
on MX480 with MS-MPC and it works okay, they definitely are happy to 
finally throw away their Linux NAT boxes.

I also know a mobile ISP doing CGN for mobile customers on SRX because 
it happened to be cheaper for them. Don't know which SRX model though.

So apparently both approaches work. Although personally I'd prefer 
SRXes, if only because I've spent too much time debugging the 
MX80/MS-MIC combination.



SRX1400 or SRX3400 would probably be the closest to MS-MIC16 but again 
it's hard to say because the only number I saw on MS-MIC is "up to 9Gbps 
of service throughput". Not very informative, especially compared to 
detailed SRX datasheets.
