My hope for a successor (MX205 ?) would be more flexibility and 25G ports. 4x100G+8x25G would be awesome.
I was hoping the MX304 would be the upgrade, but it seems like overkill - 2U, modular with dual processors, up to 96 x 10/25 GbE, 48 x 40/50/100, 12 x 400 GbE Probably a bit more expensive than MX204 too.
Yes... the MX304 is awesome, but the price is going to be crazy. Possibly ~10x MX204 if fully loaded.
There's also ACX7100-48L: 48x 10GE/25GE/50GE (SFP56), 6x 400GE (QSFP56-DD)
What does the ACX7100 have in terms of FIB/RIB ? Juniper is making it very hard as of late to find that information. I'd be curious if the ACX could do brder router duties with multiple full BGP feeds (which the MX204 has no problem with at all) -Randy
