At a previous employer (I left there three months ago), one of our 
upstreams used them. The software was very buggy. We had our peering 
session bounce every four-to-five weeks. The RSP in the F10 failed 
over for no apparent reason, and F10 was unable to find the cause. 
The upstream's engineers were loading new code within a couple of 
weeks of each bounce (supposedly to fix the problem), which meant 
another bounce.

The F10 stuff looks good on paper, but it wasn't so good for us as a 
customer.
