Is the MX204 not a prohibitively expensive 10G port? > So in short, we want a full-blown router in the Access, but designed > cheaply enough for Metro applications. If you were considering the NCS540, then you’re OK with BCM there? If so, something like the ACX5448, except far more in-line with the NCS540 price per port. NCS540 pricing/10G port is much more realistic to what a 10G port should cost these days vs. MX204 or ACX5448. _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
