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?
have you looked at the MX series?

I had looked briefly, does anybody here actually use them as peering routers? I've seen a few implementations using them in the MPLS P and PE router roles but never as border routers.
If there is some precedent for using them in this role that's good to hear and I'll take another look, I was loath to move away from Juniper as our current boxes are been the model of reliability.
We use them as peering routers and are in the process of upgrading all of our peering routers to MX boxes. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
