You know that's interesting, I've been following this thread but I
totally agree with you. I very much like Juniper on the core side and
I really like their switches but it's hard to beat devices like the
7200 for circuit aggregation at the edges. Another place where I
think Cisco wins hands down is on the VPN side. I really got to dig
in to the ASA product line during my last gig and with some help from
some really skilled folks on this list I really got pretty good with
the devices pretty fast. I've used te Juniper SRX line for similar
functions and the ASA just makes more sense, at least to me.
I just wish Cisco was wirespeed more than they are.
Juniper exists precisely because Cisco wasn't making adequate progress
on this front during the late nineties.
I don't see providing someone a gig interface but only be able to
forward at a 3rd of that rate. Juniper does better in this area but
then again I've found Junos to be more buggy, in surprisingly basic
areas as well so it's a toss up. I think your comment makes a lot of
sense.

If I have the option to engineer to our requirements I would use
cisco at
the edge and Juniper at the core.

Engineer to your requirements. Cisco and Juniper are good vendors to
have
for variety.

What would be your preference between just Cisco or Juniper
"depends on what you want to do with it"
Recently, OS and TAC support quality at Juniper seriously went down the
drain, so the original reason to want Juniper "high quality operating
system and very motivated company to iron out the remaining wrinkles"
seems to have been lost...
OTOH, Cisco is still stuck in "we have too many operating systems and
we spend half our resources with BU in-fighting" mode - which, I guess,
will now be fixed by firing 10.000 folks from engineering so they won't
get in the way of the in-fighting anymore...
Right now, I'm not sure I'm trusting either company enough.
