[j-nsp] MX960 vs MX10K

[Aaron Gould]

In my case, 960 has a lot of slots, and I use slot 0 and slot 11 for
MPC-7E-MRATE to light up 100 gig east/west ring and 40 gig south to ACX
subrings, so I have plenty of slot space for my MS-MPC-128G nat module... If
I place it somewhere else, then I gotta cross the network to some extent to
get to it... also, my dual 100 gig inet connections are on a couple of those
960's where I colo the mpc-128g card, yeah, it's all right there.  Not the
case for dsl nat, that's across the network in a couple mx104's, but dsl
doesn't have near the speeds that my ftth and cm subs have.

Just to chime in --- for scale-out, wouldn't you be better offloading those
MS-MPC functions to another box? (i.e. VM/Dedicated Appliance/etc..?).

You burn slots for the MSMPC plus you burn the backplane crossing twice; so
it's at worst a neutral proposition to externalise it and add low-cost
non-HQoS ports to feed it.

or is it the case of limited space/power/RUs/want-it-all-in-one-box? and
yes, MS-MPC won't scale to Nx100G of workload.
