I agree that performance and price are equalizing out. I think both vendors are releasing similar if not identical features based on competition for the same markets. > > > > This is more of a question, but I always assumed that > > > the ASR overlapped > > > > somewhere between the J and M series. > > Right now, IMHO, the ASR1000 is way more advanced than the > J-series (apples vs. oranges, really), I'm not sure what you we're referring to here, but I assume you mean the additional features available in the cisco such as stateful firewall, etc. There is a difference there, but most NSP's don't use them. There is also a severe performance hit since it's a software platform. obliterates the M7i/M10i (even with the Enhanced CFEB), Really?

Burning two slots in the MX in order to support TDM PICs isn't very appealing either. _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
