[c-nsp] Service Provider Networks: Cisco vs XYZ

[Derick Winkworth]

1. Yes there are studies and comparisons.  They are usually skewed/biased favorably towards the company that is paying to have the study/comparison done.
2. Juniper/Alcatel-Lucent I think today are the primary competing vendors you want to look at.  
3. Tackling the service-provider problem is different than the enterprise problem.  There is a reason why other vendors have had success in this space.  Sometimes they really do make better products for the application/deployment scenario in question.

Hi Peeps.

I am pro-Cisco on building IP/MPLS service provider networks. I've proven its capabilities.

However, does anyone has a study/comparison or testing with other brands? Brocade,Huawei,Juniper,HP?
