Hi Rob, You might also consider the recent MX104 "bundle" MX104-40G-AC-BNDL:
"MX104 PROMOTIONAL BUNDLE, 40G, 2X10G BUILT-IN PORTS, 1 SERVICE MIC SLOT, 1 INTERFACE MIC SLOT, REDUNDANT AC PS. SW LICENCES INCLUDED: JUNOS, ADV-R, JFLOW-5G" Cost should be about the same as an MX5 + 2x10GE MIC (possibly even a little cheaper), but you get a better RE, an open MIC slot, and more expansion capability down the road. Good luck. -Blake --- Blake Willis Network Engineering Consultant Scalable System Design LLC "Education enabling individuals to overcome their reluctance or inability to take full advantage of technological advances and product innovation can be a means of increasing economic opportunity." --Alan Greenspan _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
