What do you care which routers they use? I've seen networks buy the most expensive routers and run a crappy network, and I've seen people run stable networks on the cheap. I just want my bits to flow quickly and reliably. I don't really care if you do it on Juniper, Force10, cisco, or tin-cans-and-string.
Well, with the GSR (and alike) you're paying for high MTBF, large buffers and quick re-routing when something happens, so yes, this is a quality issue and that's why you should care and make an informed decision. Though I do agree with you that current internet connectivity is becoming more of a bulk packet forwarding service with questionable SLAs, and that's what people are willing to pay for, not the premium service. Good enough, I think it's called. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike () swm pp se
