Express Path - SRX 5400

networknubbin

Hey folks,

Looks like deploying a new set of these is in my near future with the new caveat being 12.3X48 and Express Path. Single SPC/MPC with 1 10GbE & 1 1GbE SFP MIC, nothing fancy. Only select flows are going to be accelerated, but it appears that enabling the feature is going to drop the device down to 900K concurrent connections, is that true? Or is that limited to 900K fast-path sessions?

Any gotchas I should be looking out for? Anything weird on the 'show security flow session' front?

Thanks!

I haven't played with Express Path at all yet, so I can't offer too much help. I did find this short tech write up on it that may help though: Express Path Overview - Technical Documentation - Support - Juniper Networks

I can't add much, as I haven't used it either. But please do share your experience with it once you get it going. I like hearing real world feedback on different technologies like this.

Yeah, had read that one earlier. Decent documentation honestly, just leaves some of the details somewhat ambiguous. Waiting for them to arrive (built to order...). We'll see how it goes
