Cisco's ASR9000 is supposed to be in-line with the Juniper MX offering (price-wise and feature-wise); more so than as 124xx, I hear. On 2009-11-16, at 10:54 AM, "Gary Mackenzie" <net-ops@monolith-networks.net

Having slightly lost track of what everybody is using for peering routers these days, what is the consensus about the best alternative to Juniper M series routers?
I'm asking as the prices to upgrade to 10Gbit capable Juniper units (ie. an M120) seem prohibitively high so I'm looking to get a feel for the alternatives. The other obvious platform would appear to be a Cisco XR 12404 (or similar depending on line card requirements) but is anything else in common use as a peering platform?
Cheers for any input.
