I wouldn't bet on RE-400 / 768 MB having a lot of life left *with full Internet routing tables and recent JunOS versions*. If you remove one or both of those qualifications, you should be fine for quite a while yet. > As far as I now, the CPU usage doesn't have anything to due with the > amount of traffic that is transiting the router since it's done by the > PFE hardware. Correct.
