Re: Single router for P/PE functions

Not only can they, it's done quite frequently. I just completed a
deployment of seven Juniper MX series routers in a dual ring configuration,
all acting as combination P/PE devices for a state government WAN backbone.
Works like a charm.

Hello,

I'm pretty confident that a router can be used to perform P & PE
functions simultaneously. What about from a best practice perspective? Is
this something that should be completely avoided? Why? We're considering
doing this as a temporary workaround but we all know temporary usually lasts
a long time. I'd like to know what kind of mess awaits if we let this one
go.

Thanks,
Serge
