[j-nsp] MX204 vs. MX240??

[Mark Tinka]

Just to provide an update on this; Juniper are considering supporting
this ER (IPv6 BFD in hardware) in Junos 20.3R1, which is scheduled in 2H'20.

The time line is not yet committed from Juniper, so my SE is working on
that.

I'll keep you all posted.

Mark.
