To my understanding RPD process is very much OS inside OS type of deal, it has its own memory management, own scheduler etc., so any complexities you might have experienced when linux/freebsd/windows was being ported to another platforms you might experience in RPD. So you're not exactly getting 'free ride' when porting. IOS-XR and NX-OS are relying on the OS very much, many/most things are separated as user processes inside the OS, IOS-XE and JunOS are somewhat all-inclusive monolithic process running on top of NIX. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
