[j-nsp] Understanding limitations of various MX104 bundles

[Olivier Benghozi]

MX204 is probably not that expensive compared to a fully licensed MX104, I guess.
And while MX204 doesn't have RE redundancy, it supports NSR so I understand it runs two JunOS VMs in a Windriver Linux as hypervisor, I guess.
