This is one of the reasons it's been easier to choose 
Cisco's 7201 for route reflector purposes. This feature 
comes stock in IOS, and we don't need to pay extra for it. 
Besides, IOS, in its madness, occupies a much smaller memory 
footprint on this 2GB DRAM unit.

Having said that, due to the way Juniper implement EoMPLS 
l2vpn's (with a BGP control plane), having a J6350 is handy 
in a largely-Juniper network.

Cheers,

Mark.
