[j-nsp] MC-LAG reliability

[Alberto Santos]

Hi,

last time a colleague checked the PR list, VC had more issues than MC LAG.
How your L2 setup looks like? Do you configure STP on your L2 network ?
which version? make sure the STP version you have today is officially
supported by juniper when you implement it.

if you have any routing protocol such as eBGP or OSPF runnung through these
switches, you should make sure you test before you convert it to a MC LAG
setup.

With juniper pyez, there is no excuse to keep this in a VC setup, you
should really consider MC LAG :), another good advantage that you get is
ISSU instead of NSSU :D

cheers and merry xmas
