That's one of the problems with Cisco as of the last few years, that they
do not understand that there is no hard distinction between "Enterprise",
"SP" and "Datacenter" anymore.

So having dedicated product lines that always miss something crucial because
"no, that feature is only for the other market" really stinks.

(Now, why wouldn't an enterprise customer use an NCS5001?  "Can we please
give Cisco the money, instead of buying a QFX5100 for 20% less money, 
and then having to change our IGP"?)
