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):

          ;-)
          
          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.
