[c-nsp] Slightly OT: Core routers used by American (and EMEA) SP's

[Merlin Gillespie]

If by large ISPs they mean the carriers, then they are correct, although 
totally ambiguous. In the same way as Juniper routers may exist in the 
carrier core so do cisco and various other vendors.
For cold hard numbers you'll only ever get a rough finger in the air figure.
There are large ISPs that only use juniper in the same way that there 
are providers that only use whoever else.

Ask for specifics.
Vendor market penetration figures are invariably bull.
