I'd think the Juniper MX series might fit, as well as the Brocade NetIron XMR. And of course the Cisco you already mentioned. -brad On Nov 16, 2009, at 9:54 AM, Gary Mackenzie wrote:
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.
