[c-nsp] Re: Cisco 7600 vs Juniper M7i

[christian.macnevin at uk.bnpparibas.com]

The 6500s and the M10 basically have the same design considerations -
hardware forwarding, crossbar switch yadda yadda. Plus the 6500 is a newer
platform, no?

I wouldn't have thought that necessarily *every* Juniper product would kick
over every Cisco product..

The study was ordered and paid for by Cisco.  According to the study,
Juniper refused to actively participate.  One wonders why. :)

I've seen Cisco reference studies by Miercom before, always to show that
their products are the best ones on the market and outperform
everything, etc.
