Well, in our case, the MX's we're buying for one of our 
networks are shipping with the MPC/MIC boards. The other 
network we operate is running DPC's on much older code 
(read: stable).

As we've all seen and heard from others on this list, the 
MPC's/MIC's need to run the latest code, which is not always 
stable. It's a case of finding some functionality for your 
cards than having none at all.

One could go for the DPC's which are far more stable, but 
they're down on some burned-in features and don't favour the 
cost/benefit ratio.

There's also the way Juniper manage bug fixes and new 
features in their releases, which means you're really 
chasing code either to fix issue and get new features for 
the hardware you have - and on and on and on. It's really 
painful, and probably one of the biggest issues we (and 
several others, I'm sure) have with Juniper at this time.

Mark.
