If you're after a (true) P router and can handle a BGP-free core the 5100 should be good enough for most networks not big enough to justify a PTX, at a fraction of the cost. Sure there's not the redundancy of a PTX, but given that you can buy a pair of 5100's at list and I'm fairly sure would still be cheaper than the PTX. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

The issue I've always had with so-called MPLS-biased routers and line cards is that native IPv6 is not yet MPLS-enabled, today. So if your MPLS-biased line cards do not have enough FIB to support a growing IPv6 table, that's not good.

And of course I doubt the 5100 has enough space for a full v6 table even today (and that's before ECMP). You're right, but things are finally improving here, and in theory this works today, depending on what vendor combination and bugs you've got. Although it'll be a while still before we can get a v6 native MPLS network with no v4 needed at all, even for loopbacks. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
[j-nsp] Small P Router Recommendations
Hi guys! I'm a Juniper fan too, but I'll take a non-Juniper answer today. Seems to be an MPLS heavily oriented list, so I figured you guys would know. I'm sure we'd all love an EX3200 take could run LDP, pack more than 1 label and do it over aggregated interfaces. Is anyone else making a box that can do that? Need to aggregate a bunch of SRXs, and drag it back to the office. I was thinking, would there be any ill-effects to building a larger subnet and connecting all the SRXes together with a standard L2 switch, and then have the switch uplink to the closest P router? Sure would be nice for adding more boxes in the future, no need to touch the P. Oh, and have they got L3VPN/VPLS figured out on the ACX yet? Thanks!

Sure would be nice for adding more boxes in the future, no need to touch the P. Why not just run another SRX as a PE and aggregate via that? The MPLS feature-set is pretty comprehensive - L2VPN, VPLS, L3VPN, L2Circuit etc. Oh, and have they got L3VPN/VPLS figured out on the ACX yet? L3VPN works just fine, but L2 services are coming soon.

Is anyone else making a box that can do that? The Cisco ME3600X is a 1U Metro-E switch with full IPv4, IPv6 and MPLS capabilities. Your limitations will be 10Gbps ports (it only has two, but has 24x Gig-E ports) and a its small FIB. But if you only have a handful of routes (under 30,000, I think), it'll do the job just fine.
