What does graymarket Juniper or Brocade mean? Used? Non US version? No warranty? Software not officially licensed? Made by night shift at same factory in China? Fell off a truck?

Juniper (graymarket) Brocade (graymarket) I'm sure Cisco, but I ignore them like they don't exist. For less than $100,00k I picked up 3 MX960 chassis with hc fan trays, 4 hc power supplies per, dual quadcore routing engines with 32GB of ram each, enhanced switching control boards, and more than a few 16x10Gbps l3 / mpls capable line cards AND 4 EX4500 40 port 10Gbps switches with mpls licenses and dual power supplies. Looking at 100Gbps capable line cards on eBay (which im sure I can get half or better that price from my vendor), I could easily do it for 100k with optics. A brocade mlxe-4 would be a fun platform for 100Gbps as well, with greatly reduced power and cooling requirements. My generator/battery/HVAC budget went to crap when I went with the mx960s instead of the mlxe-8's I wanted, but JUNOS is a joy to work with comparatively speaking.

The chassis, enhanced scbs and high end routing engines are fairly cheap. 100Gbps line cards are in demand and very hard to find, as there's no real upgrade from there. 10Gbps is cheap and has been replaced by 40/100Gbps gear, so there is plentiful equipment on the great market.

Having a router, to do 100G transport is not, Expect to pay approx $100k for a router (loaded ready to go, on the 2ndary markets) Regards.
