While those links discuss how the box performs load sharing, it isn't actually configurable at all, This is exactly what I tried to point out when Richard proposed to use Broadcom Trident+ as an LSR PFE. EX3200 uses, AFAIR, Marvell something, but I don't believe Trident+ much differs in this.

I meant that in order to do LB on labels alone (to have enough of hash-keys for micro-flows), you need a large enough set of labels in the core and more or less uniformly distributed traffic over these labels. If you have, say, 10 PoPs and 90 core tunnels, it's very probable that 20% of them

Yes you need to look into the packet a little bit to hash well, but this isn't a difficult operation either (compared to holding a full table and doing longest prefix lookups at any rate). As far as I understand, it's not really correct to compare difficulty of these two operations, since

Since many of these devices have IPv6 routing capability (with a limited FIB size) it is certain that they can look far enough into the packet to see as many labels as any reasonable design will require. I'm not sure this is a correct comparison. See my reply to RAS. I share your skeptical

TBH, I haven't checked the pricing but I'd expect Brocade MLX MLX(e) is an edge device and is much like MX in most things. It's cheaper but at a cost of some features lack and few caveats. Although it's a good product, it's not a label-oriented LSR anyway.

Do you realize that the source and destination IP address, TCP ports, MAC addresses, and so on, are all larger than 20 bits? If the thing can figure out how to hash on those parameters, it could also figure out how to hash on labels. :) If it were so easy, the next thread on EX LB wouldn't

Robert, is there any non-production implementation of simple-va, which we could play with? The main concern here is, of course, whether a router will be infinitely installing/withdrawing tons of FIB entries because of 'natural' prefix flaps, how much black-hole/loop this will create in practice,

The router with simple-va functionality enabled will not install nor withdraw even single additional route on top of what it would do when simple-va feature is not enabled. So it is guaranteed to be no less then today. OK, OK, I've read the draft quite some time ago, and I also liked it :)

The removal of a large aggregate (say 4/8) and the subsequent required addition of all of the subnets under 4/8 could certainly be 'interesting' to observe. Interesting as well is that 4/8's origin doesn't have to be the flapper, just your network (or an intermediate) changing attributes (or

That is not true. The ports are configurable and usable. But you need a license to be allowed to use them. The license is just paperwork and you dont need to activate it somewhere. However this policy will change in the future, all MX5/10/40 bundles and line cards are EEPROM coded and a later
