RE: Cisco CRS-1 vs Juniper 1600 vs Huawei NE5000E

["Jason J. W. Williams" <williamsjj () digitar com>]

We're Juniper right now, but we're looking at the Foundry MLX line for
possible future sites due to cost/performance. So I'd be interested in
folks' experience with Foundry's Terathon gear and associated IronWare
revs. Its supposed to be a lot better than the JetCore stuff
(cam-trashing problems etc.) but it'd be nice to hear what folks are
seeing in real life.

Best Regards,
Jason

Any experiences of Foundry routing w/ more complex protocols (PIM, 
MSDP, various IPv6 stuff)?

The last time we tried running non-C/J as a router was a very Extreme 
experience and we swore never again to touch similar router underdogs 
in the future.
