We were told 2+ years ago that Juniper would be releasing a module for the port in the back of the MX5 - MX80 that could be used to VC another MX -or- be used as high speed link to an EX (4200 / 8500). This has changed a few times in our discussions with Juniper over the subsequent years from "coming soon" to "no idea what you are talking about" to "coming soon" again. Latest responses from Juniper have been reasonably solid "never going to happen". My guess (merely a guess) is that marketing/product positioning folks within Juniper decided that this functionality would compete against their more expensive products and killed the development/release. -DMM _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
