Hi Saku. Indeed, this is the worst thing this router can do. I have redundant routers sitting there doing absolutely nothing as this router's control-plane says everything is fine.
Juniper aren't really telling me anything, only that the links I've shows are 'corner cases' - no comment on the comment I got from JTAC. I do happen to have a spare Brocade XMR that I might just use instead. Juniper should just come out straight. > Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2012 15:15:39 +0300 > From: s...@ytti.fi > To: juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net > Subject: Re: [j-nsp] Krt queue issues > > On (2012-10-01 08:38 +0100), Darren O'Connor wrote: > > Hi Darren, > > > So to me this means this problem is a software issue, not hardware.
