Hi. We have a 7206 w/NPE-G1 and looked at the ASR as a replacement after looking at both Juniper and Cisco and getting quotes from both vendors we decided on the MX480.
MX480 was slightly more than the ASR gear we looked at, but offered better redundancy and higher port count. But still overall a better deal than Cisco for our needs.
It was probably overkill for our needs all things considered but we should not have to buy a new router for quite a while considering we got about 5 years out of our 7206.
We did not have a need for any of the other WAN hardware so we do only ethernet and have a mix of MM/SM and copper. With the 20 port MIC card it meets our ethernet side quite well.
Our 7206 is maxed out with 3xGE and 1xFE port adapter it does about 1.5 gigs total of all ports at peak at about 35-40% CPU.
We will have it online in the next few weeks if all goes as planned. Regards, Keith _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
