Particularly if you include the requirement for temperature hardening - we deploy a lot of street cabinet sites, and MX104s and ASR902s are basically the only boxes in town that have reasonable 10G density and a sensible temperature range for external boxes. We don't need the full capability of a 104 (and feature-wise the 920 and 902s are chock full of unfortunate compromises) but sadly the higher bandwidth stuff based around x86 and BRCM silicon isn't yet entering the temp-hardened space. We have a few 104s out in prod doing fairly basic bits of EVPN and they're very capable boxes - just pricey for the ports we need. -- Cheers, James Harrison _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
