I don't think RE connects atypically in MX204. RE is ETH+PCI connected, not fabric. Can you elaborate on the corner cases? It is true that MX204 is fabricless, like MX80 was. Which ostensibly is a good thing, as you could use both fab+wan serdes purely for wan, doubling the wan density while halving the average lookup and buffer delay performance -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
