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

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.
