Does a Cisco7500 really compary to anything Juniper has ?
It is an old box with line cards which at max handles kpps in the hundreds,
a backplane (or two) with a gig capacity and bouncing almost all
traffic on the RSP.

In short, what does Juniper have which maxes out at a few hundred Mbps/kpps ?

What a 7500 has is port adapters for pretty much anything, but it is
an almost obsolete piece of hardware today and is quite expensive to
run.

PS. I actually like my old 75's.
