Daniel,Like Juniper T1600 and CRS-1 I have to agree it will be very difficult to compare thinking about performance and S.O functionality (ASICs, Internet Processor 2, Multicasting Matrix Architecture, Hardware Arch, QNX, Real Time OS, I-Chip ASICs, Forwarding Plane, Control Plane and Service Plane etc.) ... thinking that major (95 % ?) of the service providers, telecom companies and research networks (I2, NLR, AARNET, APAN...) in the world are using something the both trades.
We do not have a lot of other companies cases to show.Juniper has IPv6 implementation since 10 years ? JUNOS 4.2 ? We have to agree (too) they have a lot expertise in how it works under mix, heavy traffic, etc.
Only prices fro this 2 machines are very "HARD" to work !!!Thinking about Juniper a good suggestion could be the MX Series Family with high concentration of Ethernet High Speedy Interfaces (SFP).
Cisco CRS-1 is very new, right ? People from NLR (I think) is using the 8 slot router with the new IOS XR based on QNX ... Maybe some of them could tell how it works under heavy conditions of traffic, v4+v6 mix with multicast, unicast and MPLS VPNs .. all running togheter.
Thanks, Giuliano

If only they would copy JunOS instead of IOS... sigh.But ... I never saw it under extreme conditions with IPv6 ...They already fail at light conditions, given that there is no multitopology IS-IS. This equals to "showstopper" if your network uses multitopo IS-IS for v4+v6 (and perhaps even for unicast and multicast). Best regards, Daniel
