Have to agree - we were considering the J-series as a potential route reflector since JUNOS (AFAICT) is the only piece of networking code, today, that supports the MCAST-VPN BGP NLRI. But given that non-ES JUNOS on this platform would leave you without key features today, and that current code is all ES- based, requiring flow mode in some parts, it means we can't choose this box any longer (good thing we actually didn't buy any yet). That role would have to go to the M7i's. But since those only run 1.5GB on the RE (effectively less as JUNOS, itself, continues to grow), we can't let the router carry all AFI's. That would be the job of another vendor's platform, while JUNOS only handles MCAST-VPN. Sad. Mark.
