In this person's defense, I noticed the username on his emails several
days ago on an entirely different topic. I thought it was an amusing
coincidence, but it just may be his real name. Either way, it's still
funny. :-)

For that matter, look at the username on the email. I didn't at
first, and, frankly, if I had looked more closely, I wouldn't have
responded.
Consider the following comments in the light that I just got off the
phone with a settlement on my taxes, I am waist deep in a desktop
conversion with several deadlines pending, and I have a sore throat.
To be honest, I hate to see product bashing on this list. I cringe
when I see people starting out with "I have this bug in my production
network." My first reaction is "and what did the TAC say about it?"
If the response is "I don't have a support contract," my response is
"then you deserve the problems you have." It's one thing for someone
not to buy support for a home lab, but anyone (except possibly
high-level resellers) who doesn't is a fool.
Perhaps I'm in a bad mood today about negativism, if that isn't
circular logic. It's far too easy to slam anonymously on this and
other mailing lists. I try to be very careful to keep all of my
potential conflicts of interest in the open. Some of you may
remember a flap around the holidays about how Cisco was going to go
after me, CertZone, and other information providers -- as far as
anyone can tell, it was a hoax.
Product comparisons about carrier-class routers are far more credible
on mailing lists like cisco-nsp and jupiter-nsp, where cutesy or
unverifiable email is quite rare.
Continuing to muse, I am actively involved in next-generation router
product R&D (and no, I can't talk about details). There are recurring
threads here about lookup time being a major issue, yet lab-level
measurements regard that as a largely solved problem.
Convergence time is complex and ill-defined. I have a current
internet-draft,
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-berkowitz-bgpcon-00.txt,
which I expect to get into the formal track (probably the
Benchmarking Technology Working Group, but the correct WG is TBD).
To show the objectivity that I'd like to see in the industry, I've
gotten excellent comments on the draft from someone at Cisco, and we
will probably coauthor the next version. I'd be delighted to have a
Juniper coauthor.
