We have 8 in XMR's in production at this point, some running hundreds of BGP sessions, and our pain has been minimal. There was a pretty bad software bug that caused us to send full tables to peers so we were tripping max-prefixes, but it was addressed. I think we've had 1 line card fail in the past 6 months, so not bad. <br>
<br>I would definitely recommend the XMR for its price/performance point. However, be very careful with what you try to do with a SuperX :-). Don't mix SuperX with BGP if you can help it. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Time and time again I've gotten anecdotal recommendations that Foundry should only be used for layer 2. I would like to open that up to a wider audience with a perhaps more directed question:<br>
<br>
What is there about the MLX platform that helps it compare to the available offerings from Juniper/Cisco/etc? Why did you end up with that gear other than just price? With the same options available, would you buy it again?<br>
<br>
(Please avoid the flamable aspects of that conversation)<br>
