Not really as IOS-XR was started around the time that Juniper was started. Also suggesting that a language invention equals broad knowledge in the industry of how to use it properly, what it’s capabilities are, etc is misleading. Just because DNA could be sequenced, didn’t mean it was easy/cheap/accessible. :-) _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
