XMR life time has or will come very soon for DFZ routing, the MLXe (if
you have one) is still a valid platform for DFZ and I am sure it is
going to be supported at least till 2025/2026.
So configurations that still work:
- MLXE chassis with MR2-X-management cards
Modules:
- BR-MLX-100Gx2-CFP2-X2
-> 2 x 100g
- BR-MLX-10GX20-X2 in its variants:
-> BR-MLX-10Gx20-X2
-> 20 x 1g/10g
-> BR-MLX-10Gx10-X2
-> 10 x 1g/10g, upgradeable to 20 1g/20g
-> BR-MLX-1GX10-U10G-X2
-> 20 x 1g, upgradeable to 20 1g/20g
Cam profiles:
- default (1424K mil ipv4, 416K ipv6)
- multiservice-6 ( 1120K ipv4, 768K ipv6)
- ipv4-ipv6-2 (2048K ipv4, 1024K ipv6, no VPN)

If you buy new, SLX 9540/9640/9850 are valid targets but this leads the
thread back to the beginning ;-).

If you want more routes you need -X2 linecards.
The IPv4 table and IPv6 tables are close to limit from the XMR/MLXe
-x cards (+-757166 ipv4 and +-65239 ipv6)
That is why you get the cam profile warnings.
It seems Brocade was even worse than Cisco (1M routes on the 3bxl), in
that their 1M route cards are really 1M routes - 2x v6 routes - about
100000 TCAM slots for other misc uses, and you can't fine tune the
v4/v6 split. I finally got a chance to do some messing around with a
lab XMR with full BGP feeds, and was I think I found is:
system-max settings dealing with max numbers of ip[v6]-route/cache
affect what the router is willing/able to store in RIB, but the
cam-partition profile affects what can be stuffed in FIB, and other
than selecting between the various cam-partition profiles, the TCAM
carving between v4/v6 is not flexible (or if it is, that's a hidden
command). So, for a full-table router, the only cam-partition profile
of any use is ipv4-ipv6-2, and that profile may or may not hold a
"full" table today depending on the exact size of your full table.
Or in other words, the MLX/XMR is dead or very nearly there for anyone
needing full v4 & v6 tables.
