Quite. The main point is, in FXP you can never capitalize on any HW feature, as you always transit RE. In on-band/NPU ports you can avoid NPU completely when viable, and when not viable you can use RE. Only of course on top of on-band port, you need one port for disaster recovery, and for this role FXP is very ill-fitting. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
