First of all, Juniper has an oc-192 interface that actually does oc-192 and
that will still do oc-192 with an access-list on it. Cisco doesn't have a true
oc-192 card yet. They have OC-192 optics with an engine 3 forwarding engine
so it can do about 2.5Gbps, that's before applying access-lists...
I have a couple of GSRs here and there single OC-12 can barely forward more
than an OC-3 if you start putting access-lists and CARs on it. Not so with
the Junipers. (I know a quad OC-12 with engine 2 works better BTW)
So, Juniper very very fast, GSRs fast.
On the GSR, the processing is offloaded to the cards, but it's still done in
software on the cards. On Junipers, the processing is offloaded to the cards,
but it's done in hardware on specialize ASICs.
