[j-nsp] Multi Core on JUNOS?

[Colton Conor]

So, what ALU is telling me is true. They have a slide that shows how their
routers use multiple cores, but they mentioned Juniper and Cisco don't. I
told them that I know that's not true as Juniper and Cisco both have multi
core processors, but I guess they are semi correct since from the sounds of
it Juniper and Cisco's software isn't up to date to do muticore processes?

It is 2015 right? Why are we acting like multicore processors just came
out? What is taking these giants so long to update their code to support
multiple cores in processors in their own products? This blows my mind.
