How do you handle 10G port licensing on the 5048? That gets expensive quickly. I've got about 75 qfx's deployed as PE devices right now because of the 5048 port licenses.
The major limitation of the qfx as a PE device is that it doesn't support VPLS. It does however do EVPN over vxlan, which can be stitched to a vpls instance if needed on an MX, at least according to Juniper. I've not yet tried it. On the very few instances where I've absolutely had to deliver a VPLS type service, I've been able to bring L2circuits back to a 480 and stitch them all to a bridge-domain there. Not optimal, but it works. Joe The qfx's do L3vpn and l2circuits nicely, with RSVP/LDP, BGP, and ISIS.
