I did change and put in ietf this over the weekend and the link has had
some stability now.
The interface flaps have greatly reduced though they are still there.

Am looking at the problem also from SDH level as am also thinking the
transport media could be an issue.

That is what I was suggesting previously: frame-relay ietf.  Now the link characteristics have changed, just by setting this to a standard protocol both sides accept.  It seems that the Juniper was partially working with it.  No?

Here is something I found on line, also:
