Hello Mark, What kind of MXs do you have this working on? MX80 or on some of the others in the family? I am asking because I was told P2MP LSPs were not supported on MX240/480/960 with MPCs. Also when considering DPCs/MPCs there seems to be no support for IEEE 802.1ah-2008 on MPCs. Vladislav

I am in process of procuring new hardware and I've got a question. If you were to go for MX480 would you order it with MPCs or DPCs. Also if your network were to have MX80s as well which are Trio based would that influence the decision on choosing either MPCs or DPCs for the MX480s? I'd say

My personal opinion is that it depends on the situation. If you want any of the higher density cards or any of the newer interfaces you are going to have to go MPC. We have a large number of MXs of varying size and I made the decision to remain DPC based as opposed to mix-chassis (as I couldn't

For a given port count 8, MPC 3D 16x 10GE is cheaper than the alternative configurations that yield a similar count. So when driven by 10Gbe density considerations (or linecard count) you're going to end up with MPCs. joel On 8/25/11 09:40 , Jeff Richmond wrote: My personal opinion is that it
