A memory leak in the PFE's clone route storage could lead to memory exhaustion for MPLS routes.
PPPoE can't dial in due to all padi dropped as "unknown iif" when deactivated/activated AE configuration
PPPoE can't dial in due to all padi dropped as "unknown iif" when deactivated/activated AE configuration which a AE child leaves and joins bundle in quick succession. And lead to out of order for substructs msg. And the Fix is to process all substructs hanging off the parent IFL ifstate in the order in which they were enqueued. Restore-only is to reboot FPC.
FPC crash on configuration change for PFE sensors
On receiving a configuration change for PFE sensors in the middle of a reap cycle there is a chance that the PFE might crash due to invalid data access. This is a timing issue and related to the length of time it takes to reap the sensors.
Non-NEBS compliant optics might be disabled when chassis temperature exceeds non-nebs-optics-overheat-trigger
If Non-NEBS (Network Equipment-Building System, a design guideline applied to telecommunications equipment) compliant optics is used on MX MPC and chassis temperature exceeds non-nebs-optics-overheat-trigger (default: 50 degrees), the fan might not change to high speed because the temperature hasn't reached fan speed "High" threshold (default: 60 degrees). If the temperature remains over non-nebs-optics-overheat-trigger for about 10 minutes, the non-NEBS compliant optics might be disabled.
Nexthop programming issue during link flapping on PTX
In ECMP (Equal-Cost Multipath) scenario on PTX series platforms, the unilist nexthop might be incorrectly programmed on PFE (Packet Forwarding Engine) when a member link flaps, resulting in traffic blackhole.

The LSP might remain UP even if no path is acceptable due to CSPF failure
In Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) scenario, the label-switched path (LSP) might remain UP even if no path is acceptable due to Constrained Shortest Path First (CSPF) failure. There are two scenarios which may result in CSPF failure. Scenario 1 with MBB: optimization timer fires during make-before-break (MBB). Scenario 2 without MBB: A link/IGP flap causes CSPF, but it depends on timing.
The authd process might not be started after executing RE switchover on backup RE without GRES enabled

In a large-scale BGP/LDP environment with 'protocols mpls traffic-engineering bgp-igp-both-ribs' configured, when IGP metric of interface is changed by configuration modification (commit), the metric change could get propagated to LDP slowly, leading to long delay of LDP convergence.
Address pool does not correctly cycle to the beginning of the pool when linked-pool-aggregation parameter is defined
In subscriber scenario, when "linked-pool-aggregation" is enabled on MX platform, the address pool might not cycle to the beginning of the pool and it might report "Out of Addresses" even though not all addresses are in use.
FPC might be unable to work properly if one child interface is removed from an AE bundle in dynamic VLAN subscriber scenario
On MX platform which supports next-generation subscriber management, if the Aggregate Ethernet (AE) bundle has multiple child interfaces which are located in the same Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) complex, e.g. ge-1/0/0 and ge-1/0/1, when dynamic VLAN subscriber gets online from the AE bundle, then one physical child interface is removed out of the AE bundle, e.g. ge-1/0/0, the Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) might keep reporting error logs, and the statistics on the dynamic VLAN flow also won't get incremented. Therefore PFE might be unable to work properly due to this issue.
"PE Chip:pe0[0]: IPW: oversize_drop error" causes Major error on FPC
PTX routers with FPC3s that encounter oversize_drop errors will trigger an FPC Major alarm with each error seen. The alarm should clear on its own. The severity of this alarm is being reduced as there is no lasting impact to the FPC.
Packets might be dropped on data plane in the inline Jflow scenario
On MX series with MPC, in the inline Jflow scenario, due to a software defect, the data structure associated with inline Jflow feature may not be initialized correctly. This leads to not being able to forward traffic correctly on the affected MPC.

On EX9200 Series platform, if there is 'packet-length' keyword under 'firewall filter' which is applied on interface egress, such configuration is not able to be committed due to commit-check failure.
CoA updates subscriber with original dynamic-profile if radius has returned different dynamic-profile name
When radius sends CoA (Change of Authorization) for the subscriber after radius has returned different dynamic-profile name in access-accept, the subscriber will be updated with original dynamic-profile. The issue is because the new dynamic-profile name which sent by the radius is not saved in the subscriber's table, hence when the CoA message arrives, the old dynamic-profile name is used. The issue results in CoA updates subscriber with unexpected values (The old dynamic-profile instead of the new dynamic-profile is used).
Subscribers not able to login after double GRES, after reboot, or after config.
Rarely Over GRES or RE reboot, subscribers of all access types were not able to login. bbe-smgd daemon restart potentially can solve the issue.
The ipv6 subscriber may fail to log in on LNS side
In subscriber management scenario, IPv6 subscriber, having DHCPv6 Unique Identifier (DUID) type 2 format used for identification, may not be identified, because the LNS device is not able to extract the MAC address from DUID in type 2 format.
The value of 'predefined-variable-defaults routing-instances' overrides the RADIUS-supplied VSA (26-1 Virtual-Router)
If the default value for the $junos-routing-instance predefined variable is configured (i.e. 'dynamic-profiles <> predefined-variable-defaults routing-instances <>'), the subsciber will come up in the configured default routing-instance even if RADIUS has already supplied the VSA of '26-1 Virtual-Router'.
Flows are getting exported before the expire of the configured active timeout value
The export of the Jflow records is seen at the collector before the expire of the configured active timeout value. This export result might not be the expected.
The jpppd process might crash if the EPD value contains a format specifier
If the trace options for PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) are set to level all, the jpppd might crash when the EPD (Endpoint Discriminator) value which is used for LCP (Link Control Protocol) has a format specifier('%s').
Penultimate-hop router does not install BGP LU label causing traffic blackhole
On the penultimate-hop router in BGP LU (labeled unicast) scenario using PHP (penultimate-hop popping), when a link flap causes the next-hop of a label received from the egress router to change, once the link comes back, the penultimate-hop router might fail to install the clone route (S=0) entry for that label and result in traffic blackhole.
Fabric drops might be seen if using a newer generation of MPC with SFB2
On MX2020, MX2010 and MX2008 platforms with SFB2 cards installed, if a newer generation of MPC (e.g. MPC type 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9) is installed into a slot which had MPC 3D 16x10GE, MPC type 1 or MPC type 2 previously installed, the available fabric bandwidth to the new MPC card would be rate-limited due to residual programming on the fabric planes. Traffic impact is observed during peak utilization.

The MS-MPC might core when mspmand receives a non-syn packet of TCP
When MS-MPC line card is used, if the ms/ams-interface is not configured and mspmand (Multiservices PIC management daemon) receives a non-syn packet of TCP, the MS-MPC might crash due to some NULL pointer issues of the global configuration variable.
Invalid Layer 4 checksum might be observed on IPv4 packets generated by NAT64 with MS-DPC after translating fragmented IPv6 UDP/TCP packets
On MX-Series platforms wherever the MS-DPC or MS-PIC line card is used, when the router executes the NAT64 translation for the fragmented IPv6 UDP/TCP packets, invalid Layer 4 checksum would be observed on IPv4 packets generated by NAT64. The reason is that during fragmentation the first fragment`s next-header doesn`t point to the L4 information and hence wrong calculation is done at L4 checksum. And due to this invalid checksum, the traffic would be dropped.
The bbe-smgd process may core when executing "show pppoe lockout"
The bbe-smgd process may generate a core file when the "show pppoe lockout" command is issued from the CLI
