These reports are total frauds, Cisco pays Miercom to produce them and
to make sure the results always come out in their favor. They typically
find edge cases to focus on, misconfigure the competition boxes, provide
no way to verify their claims, and make sure to never feature any test
in which the Cisco box fails. The Miercom 7600 vs M7i report for example
was a work of pure comedy, if not for the thought that some poor sap
might have actually believed a word of it. The FUD machine has been
working overtime against the MX lately too, because it is an first rate
box and the competition has absolutely nothing to compete against it
technically.
