hey, Juniper has chosen to use their own silicon for most of their dense 100G platforms, but you’ll see these chips used by pretty much everyone else I imagine at some point in the next year. Juniper silicon has one big advantage over BCM88670 - it supports 2M FIB entries. This makes PTX100

Does anyone know when the switching and router vendors will release their new models with the Broadcom BCM88370 and BCM88670 chips? It looks like these chips could be used as a carrier grade router and/or metro E device. More information here: http://www.broadcom.com/press/release.php?id=s902223
