Well, it fails my "must run IOS-XR or JUNOS" requirement, for starters. ;-) And seriously, who wants to implement routing policy in IOS?! Bletch. What I want is something based on a generic compute platform, ala JUNOSphere/VIRL. That lets me scale the control plane as big as I need to, avoids wasting money on purpose-built hardware optimized for forwarding, and comes with the added bonus of using the same OS & policy language that's already widely deployed in my network, so at least I don't get any NEW interop issues. The downside is that neither vendor sells such a thing right now, and so we're stuck arguing about which square peg fits best into the round hole. ("small" ASR9k and MX here, FWIW) Oh and I also want a two-vendor solution so that I'm (hopefully) not completely screwed the next time one of them discovers a new attribute- handling bug. --Jeff _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
