This is where/when I think Juniper need to re-invent the M7i/M10i. Even with the new Enhanced CFEB, the ASR1000's offer way more value, e.g., they can talk 10Gbps Ethernet or STM-64/OC-192, they can talk STM-16/OC-48, now support a 20Gbps centralized forwarding plane, support a wide range of line rate Gig-E line cards, e.t.c. We've seen a number of cases where the ASR1004/6 beats an M10i any day, especially when used as a small core or medium-sized edge router. The M7i is in even worse trouble since the ASR1002 comes with 4x on-board Gig-E ports - lovely. The M7i's/M10i's are finding it very hard to play in this space, anymore. This needs to be rectified. Cheers, Mark.
