[rbak-nsp] Recommended v12 release

[Olivier Benghozi]

Hi Jim,

we were running 12.1.1.6 on SE600 used as LNS. After two months, suddenly plenty of crashes on two 10GE cards (PPA3).
Obviously this release was a piece of crap.

Freshly updated to 12.1.1.7p1, expected to correct the two bugs the TAC said we met (linked to LNS use).
A third card crashed 4 days later. Great.
Ericsson is now blaming "not Redback approved XFP". Superb.

Anyway Ericsson's TAC is a really impressive bullshit generator, last time about a flapping BGP neighbor they started to blame the air filter... Why not the oil level, the head gasket or the windshield washer fluid...

At least we had no more card crash since the last one, 3 weeks ago.

regards,
Olivier

> We have had a number of 10ge-4-port card crashes on SE600 running SEOS v11 and have been advised by Ercisson to upgrade to 12.1.1.6, however, I have seen a number emails regarding 10GE card crashes on 12.1.1.6 which is quite worrying.  Does anyone have experience of stable v12 code with 10GE cards, especially in an L2TP/LNS/LAC environment?
