What is the anticipated price on the MX80?
One of the reasons that the MX80 looks like it is going to be so popular
is that it specifically addresses this problem by providing a much
cheaper entry level platform, especially if you are able to get by with
the fixed config version (4x XFP, 48x 10/100/1000 copper) rather than
the MIC version. The list price difference between the above fixed
config MX80 and a MX240 base (with non-redundant and non-upgraded fabric
and RE) and the same interfaces in a full routing config is something
like 3.6x. I expect there will probably be some backwards movement on
the level of discounts Juniper will be willing to give on the new
products, but it is pretty darn hard to change the overall picture when
there is a 360% difference in price. IMHO wait for the MX80, it looks
like it is going to be a real winner.
