I never saw it under extreme conditions with IPv6 ... If you need sane MTU controls on both L2 and L3 stay *very* *far* away from Foundry gear... Despite years and years of telling them they need to allow different MTU settings both at the VLAN as on the VE level they still Don't Get It (TM)... :( And I definitely know I'm not the only one who's repeatedly asked them about it. :( Apart from that, if you need basic IPv4 stuff, aka not too fancy terribly new things, they have a very decent platform, with far lower port costs then C or J. And performance is also very good, especially since you get L2 and L3, whereas with J you'd need to go with the (very new) MX960, whose L2 featureset still eludes me, or the proven 6509's (with beefy sup's) from C...
