I sincerely doubt there is much demand for *new* 40G these days. Look at the population of 40G members on major IXes. People have either one 10G, 2 x 10G, or 100G. 40G was a dead-end 9 years ago and much so more now. On Wed, Aug 23, 2023 at 9:38 AM Aaron Gould <aaron1@gvtc.com> wrote:
some of these port capabilities are weird to me. like on the ACX7100-48L you can do 4x100 or 8x50, but ONLY one 40g ?!

On the new ACX line, yes. Not Trio, and different PLM :)
We don't mess around with any other MX products, so not sure (although we are still yet to deploy the MPC10E's and the MX304). MX304 (well, strictly LMIC16) has the same restriction, and a need for another entry in the magic port checker ( https://apps.juniper.net/home/port-checker/index.html) for restrictions beyond "SUM(port-speeds) <= 1.6T".
They make sense once you've looked at the block diagram for the thing and followed the lines, but things like "4x10G breakout can only go in odd-numbered ports, and you have to leave the corresponding next-lowest even-numbered port empty" are not instantly obvious.
Thanks, Tim.
