Product-Group=evo 		On a PTX10008, six SIBs are required to carry line-rate traffic, with no fabric redundancy.

Product-Group=evo 		Commit takes longer than 20 seconds to go through.
1513163 [firewall] [filter_installation] Scapa : Commit is taking longer with basic AE config
Product-Group=evo 		For vScapa devices, commit time with loading the baseline configuration using load override approach is having an average of 20-25 secs and loading the AE config using load override approach is having an average of 25-30 secs. On a stable system, we can expect commit time to be on the lower side for both baseline config and AE config. Commit time on Physical Scapa devices also is expected to be on the lower side of the average commit times. Load override is an expensive operation amongst all the load configuration approaches. Technically, it discards the existing candidate configuration and loads with new config. All system processes re parse the configuration. All translation and commit scripts are run etc. https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/topic-map/junos-config-files-loading.html Recommendation is to use "load update" option wherever possible, which is more efficient and optimised approach. The load update operation compares the candidate configuration and the new configuration data, and only changes the parts of the candidate configuration that are different from the new configuration. Better commit time results can be seen with load update option when compared to load override approach.

But resolver treats LIST NH as a leaf node and does not do loop detection inside List NH members (Day 1 behavior). This causes wedges in Packet Forwarding Engine as loop detection does not happen.

This does not affect functionality since what is shown is correct. When FRUs are offlined, errors that may have been raised on them would get deleted from the DB. If in case all the errors that have been raised get deleted, we come to the same situation as mentioned earlier, and the show system errors active command with/without fru filters would give empty output.

Product-Group=evo 		On a PTX10008, six SIBs are required to carry line-rate traffic, with no fabric redundancy. Even when ingress traffic rate is such that five SIBs are sufficient to carry ingress traffic (for example, traffic is less than 1280 Gbps), ungraceful SIB failures result in transient loss of traffic, till system failure handling is triggered. In Junos OS Release 20.1R2, failure handling may result in about 4-6 seconds of traffic loss. We recommend that you take the fabric cards offline by using the request chassis sib offline command before removing the SIBs for maintenance.

It does not check for the output of the request chassis routing-engine primary switch check command. As a result, in some of the cases the output of both the commands could be different for 'switchover readiness' for a short duration of time. This is a day-1 behavior in Junos OS Evolved.
