I must have missed your post, or I'd have chimed in. I've noted
MFR flakiness (dropped packets, sudden interface down, additional
links become unbonded and refuse to bond again, MTU troubles with
MPLS, wedged processes, etc.) on 12.3 and 12.3T.
Bryce, you might also consider an M13 mux if worried about loop
reliability. However, at this point, I'd place my bets on a DS3
loop as opposed to several MFR-ified T1s. :-/
