[j-nsp] Juniper M-series vs 72xx/NPE-G2

[Henry Dziewa]

I totally agree with below. Unless you do not plan on actually running
GigE interface at line rate, only then consider NPE-G1 box. Any Cisco
72/73xx is anemic when it comes to pushing traffic hard. But it's a balance
that counts, if Juniper box turns out way too expensive then you will need to make
a sacrifice one way or another.
