If you mean technology for provider-level core routers, Juniper
certainly is a strong competitor, and others may enter that space as
well. Juniper's products don't necessarily fit the needs of
enterprise cores except, perhaps, for very large ones.
One of Juniper's advantage is that it didn't need to implement great
numbers of legacy and enterprise compatibility features, which tend
to bloat IOS. At the network layer, carriers aren't going to run
anything except IP.
At the same time, enterprises are unlikely to need OC-192 and faster links.
In the provider marketplace, there isn't the same pressure for
single-vendor, end-to-end solutions that there is in the enterprise
market. Indeed, many providers very consciously have at least two
vendors for each functional area. This is done for several reasons,
including protection from bugs in a specific vendor implementation,
the ability to play one supplier against another, protection against
product delivery delays, etc.
A general comment though: if you meant the "core technology" of
products in general, no equipment vendor of any size will have a
single technology for all its products. Products are optimized for
specific markets, and this is a Good Thing. The idea that there is
"one IOS" and Cisco has a seamless solution at every level, built to
a Master Plan, is sheer marketing spin.
