My view EX9200 has better qos features, larger buffers 100G interfaces , better L2 features (QinQ,Vlan per port ... ) ,VxLAN routing BTW to prevent SP from using the 9200 as P router it doesn't support RSVP
For most cases QFX will do the job but if you want MX for your DC but 80/104 is to small and 240 is to expensive the EX9200 is a great box Nitzan On Wed, Dec 24, 2014 at 6:30 PM, Phil Bedard <[email protected]> wrote: > > I believe the QFX5100 will support EVPN, but using VXLAN as the underlying > forwarding mechanism instead of MPLS.

QFX5100 is a nice box, but won't do much MPLS (L3VPN, but no > L2VPN, VPLS or EVPN).
