Comparing Imagestream and Vyatta to Juniper is crazy. The first two are 
software based platforms (with perhaps some hardware off-load for 
checksums and whatnot), where as the Juniper pretty much just uses BSD 
for control-plane features (BGP, for example, and controlling the 
hardware that actually does packet switching/routing).

Well, the J-series are fully software-based routers.  Still, they have
their own routing daemons and such.
