thanks for quick reply. I forgot to mention, 2 x 10G providers with full
routing table on each.

thank you...

QFX5100 as a L3 router + L2 switch performed well for us in the past, I
don't see why it'd fall over in <1g traffic now.

You should be good to go.

Hey there,

I am trying to get my hands on some QFX5000s and I have a rather quick
question.

In the past, I often used MX + EX where MX did routing and I connected
all uplinks/peering and EX, and EX did switching, i connected my
servers to ex.

in QFX, I am trying to see if I need EX or not? more importantly
(besides from what juniper papers say) are there any known issues
people run into for a small scale deployment. (100mbps-1gbps range 1
rack, 20 servers)

my plan is to have QFX to it all, but i am worried, if this is too
much for QFX, if you have relative experience on this , feel free to
let me know

thanks in advance
