Absolutely, although I've found that only really in the SRX line where both 10.3 & 10.4 are unusable as RPD never comes up (*second* JTAC case for this to be opened this week). > - Strange and silly hardware restrictions that > inconvenience you when you least expect it, e.g., > lack of Translation Tables support on the MX > DPC's, lack of H-QoS on the current 16-port 10Gbps > MPC card, the need for additional Services PIC's > for certain basic services (I agree that very > advanced services would scale best when offloaded > to dedicated hardware), e.t.c. And Cisco aren't *worse* at this? Look at the supported platforms for VPLS for example. I can run VPLS on an M40 if I had one (yes, with a tunnel PIC, or specific other PIC's). > - No decent contender to Cisco's ASR1000 platform - > it currently makes no sense for us to invest in > the M7i/M10i boxes, and yet the M120 and MX-series > boxes are too large.

If you're ethernet only, *and* you need more interfaces then an ASR1002 then the MX80 is a nice combo, but yes an even smaller ethernet-only platform would still be great, although I doubt Juniper will launch one as it would likely just cannibalise sales of the MX80 (Something with just the interfaces from an SRX1400-10G would be awesome). -- Julien Goodwin Studio442 "Blue Sky Solutioneering" _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
