Re: Life experience: Cisco ASR9000 vs. Juniper MX960

We're planning to do exactly the same, but not in parallel. ASR9k first 
(in September), MX960 after.

I'll be interested in your results (and everyone else), especially in 
the areas of L2VPN, M(V)PLS, OSPF and everything Carrier Ethernet related.
