[j-nsp] MX vs. 7600 experience?

[Paulen, Bjørn Tore]

Hi

We are currently deploying a multi service network, using MX 480 as P/PE. We are migrating from M7/10 due to increasing bandwidth demands. We are making use of IGMP and bridge groups, which so far seems to work OK. We use MVPN and PMP LSPs for multicast, making use of Selective trees towards smaller nodes (i.e. M-series, 1GE) and Inclusive trees towards the MXs. In lab failover times were extremely low, both on RE failure and on MPLS Fast Reroute, measured with IxChariot.

We only need Ethernet, so the MX seemed like a suitable product for us (we have our own fibre). We have had no major issues so far. It is always exciting to buy something this new, but based on the experience with Juniper E- and M-series we didn't loose much sleep over this desicion.

Feel free to contact me if you want more details.

Hi,

We're looking at both the MX and 7600 platforms for our MPLS needs and I
was interested in hearing feedback from people about their experiences -
both positive and negative - with either platforms.

Whatever is selected will be used both as Ps and PEs w/ all 10GE on the
core side. This is a fairly large (continental) deployment, and it will
set the standard internationally for this customer. Main use will be for
IP VPN and EoMPLS, but VPLS may show up in the future too.

Looks like they both will work for our needs. So what it really comes
down to is important things like *stability*, support experience, etc.

If anyone has something they'd rather not express publicly, feel free to
contact me off list.

Feedback is very much appreciated. :)

Cheers
Kris
