40G QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ on MX960

Thu Feb 24 22:59:36 UTC 2022

I would go as far to say that even if somebody gives you *free* 40G
equipment in the year 2022 you shouldn't use it, because it's a
technological dead-end and becomes a huge bother when you need to interface
with some newly purchased device on the other end of the 40G circuit.

There's a reason why 40G anything is so cheap on eBay and 40G ports are
incredibly rare at the world's major IX points.
