Where do they state this? MX is ambiguous, what matters is linecard HW.

I.e. trio. No. Trio uses flat RLDRAM, and any IPv6 route installed will mean
less IPv4 routes can be installed.

RLDRAM: 576 Mb by 4 devices at 533 MHz.
DDR3: 1024 Mb by 2 devices at 733MHz/CL10.
TCAM: Installed.
I.e. 576 * 4 * 8/9 * /8 = 256MB

RLDRAM == EDMEM + IDMEM
DDR3 == OMEM (mobilenext, flow stuff)
TCAM == not used
(E series MPC have twice the DDR3)

I believe these are the numbers JNPR test with and are mutually exclusive.
256MB is fuckton of memory for lookup, if they can use it fully, but due to
caching reasons, some stuff might be mirrored to each bank to accelerate
lookup, so I'm unsure how far you can scale Trio.
