Basically any MPC+DPCE combo is bad, but at least on MPC1/MPC2 systems you can set the fabric to redundancy mode. But with 16XGE+SCB you probably don't want to. There is some sort of policing/limit on how many fabric grands MPC gives up, like if your trio needs 40Gbps of capacity, and is operating in normal mode (not redundancy) then it'll give 13.33Gbps of grands to each SCB. However as DPCE won't use the third one, DPCE could only send at 26.66Gbps towards that 40Gbps trio. While MPC would happily send 40Gbps to MPC. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
