RE: Anyone heard anything Good or Bad about Juniper equipment ?

Until of course they grow as large as the other big name competitor, then
we'll see how well their service model scales.

I like Juniper as much as the next person, this doesn't however, make me
naieve enough to believe that they're going to be able to leap the customer
support and technical support hurdles that all the other large companies
have hit.

I have worked for two very large providers with juniper equipment. Like
all equipment, they have their flaws but they are so much better than the
next closes vendor that its not even funny.

Much better response from engineers, much better code, much higher density
per rack, and their line cards actually can do oc192
