Juniper's licensing isn't any better, on the MX anyway. You have to pay for licenses to support a full table, l3vpn, e.t.c. The vendor's position is that rather than build various hardware iterations to fit different budgets, build one piece of hardware and customers can pay-as-you-grow. Up to now, I've never been convinced by such a policy. Some licenses I'm willing to pay, most, I'm not. Why would I pay for holding a full scale BGP table if I'm buying the hardware for that very reason? It's like buying a cheese burger and then requiring a license to eat it. Mark.
