[c-nsp] Cisco CRS-1 vs Juniper M320

[tin.nguyen at sasktel.sk.ca]

Hi everyone, I am comparing Cisco CRS-1 vs Juniper M320 for IP/MPLS core
routing application. From Cisco's literature & Light Reading CRS-1 test
results, it seems that Cisco has leapfroged Juniper. I am interested in
hearing opinions from people that had experience with the CRS-1 either in
production deployment or lab testing. Some of my questions:

- is the new IOS-XR as stable/resilience as Cisco claims? I would hope that
it is better than IOS.
- are there any important features not yet available in IOS-XR? with IOS,
the feature you desperately need is always in the next major release train.
- pro's and con's as compared to the M320
