[j-nsp] Experience with EX2500

[Skeeve Stevens]

It is basically and IBM/BNT switch.  Solid pedigree.

Why not 4500/4550?

The 4550 price is barely more than the 4550 32 port SFP+ where the EX2500
is 24 port SFP+

Stick with the ex4550 in my opinion - Junos is easier than an OEM bit of
kit.

This isn't anti-IBM, where partners with them, and they have some serious
kit that kicks ass, but the EX2500 isn't one of them ;-)
