Looks like its replacement is the 5120 series. The question is does the 5120 have the same limitations and similar chipset?
To echo Alain's comments earlier, the Juniper QFX 5100 series is stable, once you figure out all the shortcomings of the chipset. We aren't doing anything fancy, but have certainly bumped into our share of issues that have no workaround because it's a limitation of the physical hardware. Since we're talking about counters, see if you can spot the error with IPv6 accounting in the output from our 5100 below (about 50% of our traffic is v6):
Transit statistics:
Input bytes : 284315487788005 412457312 bps
Output bytes : 39937401090441 29417528 bps
Input packets: 231391925059 39552 pps
Output packets: 88278182551 10809 pps
IPv6 transit statistics:

Output bytes : 0
Input packets: 0
Output packets: 0
;-)
I believe the 5100 just announced EOL (https://support.juniper.net/support/eol/product/qfx_series/); I haven't had time to look at the replacement models to see if they behave any better.
