[j-nsp] J-series

[Bill Sandiford]

Alex:

I believe that I am one of the ISPs that Chris is referring to (he helped me 
out a lot with my IOS to JunOS learning curve).  We ran a Cisco only network 
for close to 12 years and as you can imagine I was fairly apprehensive about 
switching to Juniper.  We switched 3 months ago and so far I can tell you 
that it was absolutely the correct choice.

At this point we are only running a single J4350 (although we plan to put in 
a second one and use VRRP shortly).  We take 3 full BGP feeds and have over 
60 other BGP peers by way of TorIX ( www.torix.net ) as well as a few 
downstream BGP customers.  We are using OSPF as well.  Our total traffic 
through the box is ~80 Meg and the CPU is currently 12.24 %according to the 
TOTALLY AWESOME web interface.

We did upgrade the RAM from 512 Meg to 1 Gig (using readily available 
aftermarket RAM, sorry Chris).

Not that we have had a problem (because we haven't) but I would strongly 
recommend picking up a spare power supply to keep on-hand "just in case"

Regards,
Bill
