Re: [j-nsp] Juniper 10G Switch Options
Hello, We use them as L2 core for a few small ISPs (port extension for MX80 routers). The buffers of the EX4550 are not very good. Especially when you go from 10g to 1g.

Re: [j-nsp] Juniper 10G Switch Options
+1 for the EX 4600 or QFX 5100. For aggregation a 4600 should do the trick.

But the situation is moving fastly and newer release fix a log of bugs. But they have 40G ports and higher density than EX4550. EX4550 in the other hand are not perfect, but stable and less expensive. For aggregation swithes with only 10G ports I will go with EX4550. -- Raphael Mazelier ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
