Hello readers,
When rsvp and mpls are added to port configuration rpd process allocate much more memory then expexted and in time it would use all remaining memory and freeze the box.
Without rsvp and mpls:

We are running two EX4200 together on Junos 15.1R6-S4 as we tried to upgrade from 15.1R6.7 where we had same issue.
Any idea what is going on? Problem with RAM allocation would lead to box freeze and physical restart is needed.
