The ASR920 24-port comes with 4x 10Gbps ports. For me, these aren't nearly enough if you want to sell 10Gbps services to customers. I'd generally use 2x 10Gbps ports for my uplink fibre. While Cisco believe the two other 10Gbps ports can be used to address customers (and they can), I wouldn't do it simply because the scale isn't there. I'd need more 10Gbps port density for it to make any sense. I'm afraid that if you're looking for anything with dense 10Gbps ports for customer services with features, form factor and price points of the ASR920/ME3600X from Cisco, you'll be hard-pressed. > > > What are some comparable Juniper products that would fit here ?

Okay for most applications, but you may hit fundamental issues that software can't rectify. That is why we dropped our consideration for them.
