Re: Juniper firewalls - SSG or SRX

[Jeff Richmond <jeff.richmond () gmail com>]

I will admit I have the same issue with a both my BGP sessions over GRE as well, which is really annoying, but I only 
use this for remote hopping over to my other lab, not for anything I would ever do in production so I haven't bothered 
opening a case on it yet. Glad to know I am not the only one though. However, that said, everything else I am doing has 
been rock solid, so no complaints there.
