Not like the MX80 has any processing cards or anything special like the higher end MX boxes can take. I'm sorry but this won't fly. Either feature is platform independent where SRX, J, Olive is fine. Or it is platform specific, in which case you'd need Trio box (which ACX is not) On top of my head you can pretty much forget QoS testing on other than Trio box as well as you can't test 'ddos-protection', I'm sure there are many examples where test results won't transfer. Cheapest Trio box is MX5, you can get your lab gear discounted further than your production gear. -- ++ytti ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

Juniper said that it will support 7000 MAC Address and 60 Gbps with 35 Mpps. I'm not really familiar with ACX, so I can't tell you anything about scaling numbers. How is it possible without TRIO ? There are lot of chips out there. Is it asic based router for MPLS ? It is. I believe it is BCM56334L I think internally called 'enduro'. ACX1100 has a very good price and it has a good configuration. I see it mainly as competitor to ASR901, ASR903, targeting mostly TDM people. But I notice lot of people buying it without any intention to use TDM, and certainly nothing wrong there. -- ++ytti ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
[j-nsp] Lab gear to mimic MX80?
Hey everyone, I'd like to pick up a few pieces of gear to simulate our MX80's in production. We wouldn't necessarily need the same amount of memory, throughput etc just feature set and general config. I've been using SRX220's for everything up to now, but thats not always accurate to what I'd see on an MX box. Would it be safe to say I could pickup the relatively cheap J2350 boxes and stick the same version of JunOS on them and have a pretty similar experience? Not like the MX80 has any processing cards or anything special like the higher end MX boxes can take. -- Thanks, Morgan ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
Re: [j-nsp] Lab gear to mimic MX80?
ACX would do better, it uses same JUNOS build (for PowerPC) as MX80.
