This is not covid issue, these parts were EOLd before anyone knew what covid is. I don't know yet exactly what went wrong, and may not ever know as that information may not be available to even many at JNPR. On Tue, 14 Jun 2022 at 19:10, JASON BOTHE via NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> wrote:
Saw this coming a mile away. With chips and technology progressing despite ability to manufacture, I’m certain many are going to do this.

These EOLd are HMC devices, Micron EOLd HMC back in 2018, no one else made them. MX304 is a very different device than MX80, MX104, MX204. Previously these were single chip very BOM optimised devices. MX304 has YT on each card, which also means half of the YT capacity is spent on fabric. Whereas MX80, MX104 connect ports on fabric and wan side, getting 200% bps compared to fabric model. Of course BOM isn't a meaningful contributor to what customers generally pay. Holy acronym soup batman!
Could you help me with HMC, BOM, YT?
BOM means to me BillOfMaterials, but I'm not sure I have that correct.
