This is where/when I think Juniper need to re-invent the 
M7i/M10i. Even with the new Enhanced CFEB, the ASR1000's 
offer way more value, e.g., they can talk 10Gbps Ethernet or 
STM-64/OC-192, they can talk STM-16/OC-48, now support a 
20Gbps centralized forwarding plane, support a wide range of 
line rate Gig-E line cards, e.t.c.

We've seen a number of cases where the ASR1004/6 beats an 
M10i any day, especially when used as a small core or 
medium-sized edge router. The M7i is in even worse trouble 
since the ASR1002 comes with 4x on-board Gig-E ports - 
lovely.

The M7i's/M10i's are finding it very hard to play in this 
space, anymore. This needs to be rectified.

Cheers,

Mark.
