[j-nsp] Poll Question (VRF scale on MX)

[Jason Lixfeld]

Hey there,

General question - MX204-IR, for example, claims no RIB/FIB scale restrictions.  While I’m sure with that claim, RIB scale is limited to the amount of physical memory available on the box, I’m not sure what the physical limits are around the FIB.  My understanding is that it’s Trio Gen 3 based, but to that, I don’t actually know enough about the architecture yet to be sure.

Thanks!
