Hi, Unlucky as always, we had issues with the chassis of a MX104 about every years since we installed. I thinking the vibration from the train track above our location might be having an effect on connectors in those chassis, but we never got a "autopsy" report back from JNP about the chassis we swapped. Oddly luck, we have ~40 VM servers in the rack beside it with a mix of mechanical and SSDs drive with 0 issues for the same time span. So mileage may vary. ----- Alain Hebert ahebert@pubnix.net PubNIX Inc. 50 boul. St-Charles P.O.

Main advantage of out-of-path is that you decouple FIB and RIB scaling requirements and feature requirements. Your backbone device does not need to be qualified for large RIB or BGP at all. And when you do need more RIB scaling, you can upgrade out-of-path without any network interruption. We've ran this for years (Cisco CSR1000v, since 2014), and our biggest problem has been server hardware failure. Failing fans, sensitivity to higher temperatures that routers can weather better... that sort of thing.
Other than that, run this as a VM in your favourite hypervisor and you're good to go. Can't recommend it enough.
