Does anyone have any sort of performance numbers for the jnpr MX10 series running dual stack ipv4/ipv6? I'm specifically interested in how many BGP prefixes it can handle in dual stacked mode. I've got an environment currently taking 4 full ipv4 tables and a smattering of prefixes coming from a public peering exchange, and I'm curious what will happen if we move to dual stack...
I don't have MXs at the border at this point, but I do have a pair of M120s taking 3 full v4 and v6 BGP feeds, plus a few non-transit peers, and they're handling the load just fine. Just as a point of reference...

According to Juniper, the MX uses separate memory for v4 and v6. The numbers that I have seen for MX80 are: v4 FIB 1mil v4 RIB 4mil v6 FIB 512k v6 RIB 3mil MX10 should be the same as it has the same RE, but just enables/licenses different #s of ports. These are "conservative" numbers and I have seen claims of higher actual capacity from some sources. ... I wouldn't expect that you would have any route memory issues moving to dual stack ... -DMM
