Heads up on the ACX5448. There is a major LDP bug in the recommend code 19.3R2-S3.
LDP hellos are punted to the RE In queue rx-unknown-mc instead of rxq-l3-nc-hi. A major shift in multicast on our network dropped LDP neighbors. The issue doesn’t happen in 20.2R1 if you find it’s stable (I haven’t). I believe the PR is PR1503469 and should be going into 19.3R3.
