1609403 Prefix duplication errors might occur for DHCPv6 over PPPoE subscribers
Product-Group=junos
On MX platforms with DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) over PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) configured in BBE(Broadband Edge) environment, where the PPPoE sessions have delegated IPv6 prefix assigned from a local pool, when a DHCP session comes up over the PPPoE leading to a change to the PPPoE session's address, an address-change notification would be triggered. The processing of this notification by general-authentication-service would result in wrong marking of the delegated IPv6 prefix as available. Once this happens, DHCP service might re-assign the same prefixes which would be rejected because of IP duplication.
1612196 DHCP session fails with CLI knob 'session-limit-per-username'
Product-Group=junos
On all Junos platforms with DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) over PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) and 'session-limit-per-username' configured, if either interface or access configuration is modified while DHCP sessions are logged in, any new DHCP (v4/v6/PD/NA) session without authentication that uses the same access profile cannot log in.

1325946 Chassisd process memory leak issue on MX10008/MX10016 platform which might cause traffic loss.
Product-Group=junos
Starting with Junos 19.4, the chassisd process on the primary Routing-Engine (RE) for MX10008 and MX10016 platforms keeps leaking memory. When chassisd memory usage reaches 3.5GB it may crash and trigger RE switchover. In some production cases, the RE switchover has triggered temporary traffic impact even on NSR/GRES enabled systems. The rate of memory leak is depending on how many optics/SFPs the system has. Rate of leak = 'Number of optics/SFPs under the system has' * 16Bytes per every 6 seconds. 19.3 and earlier releases still have the same issue, but the leak only happens during MIC/optics initialization stage. The frequency of the leak should be ignorable compare to 19.4 and later releases.
