[j-nsp] 40Gig Ether for MX480

[Jonathan Lewis]

We've used lots of these:

but if this is your first 40G port, that's probably not cost effective.  Also note, only half the ports can be powered up, so it's 24x10G, or 6x40G, or 12x10G + 3x40G.

If you have a spare MIC slot, I suspect this is a much cheaper route:

    Hi,
    I have a client that is wanting a 40Gig ether handoff.   What would
    folks recommend for
    an interface on a MX480 system?
    
    The customer is also asking if we need to handle G.709 FEC....
    
    Thoughts and tips appreciated.
