I don't think that's a good-enough reason to oust the box. It's a bug that
"can" be fixed. Focus should be on getting Cisco to see that it's not
unreasonable to expect a network to not reboot a router every so often to
"clear things up", and that high uptime should be expected.

I've been talking to Juniper about this very thing - to launch an
MX204-lite, if you will, which focuses on 24 - 48 1Gbps/10Gbps ports, and
40Gbps/100Gbps uplink ports. If they can manage this, then Cisco have a
worthy competitor in this space.

Here's to hoping they listen; I mean, I only started talking them about this
back in 2007, what could go wrong :-)...

This is actually kind of interesting, seeing how many reasonably priced
boxes there is int this space for DC switching one would imagine that it
wouldn’t be all that hard. Looking at the chipset that said boxes use many
of them has support for MPLS. 
I'm a little bit interested in the NCS-540 for this segment although the
prefix side is a bit thin. I haven’t played with it yet though.
Anyone else run the NCS540 in the Edge role and are there any major
limitations except the 128K ipv4 prefix limit?
