[j-nsp] Junos Fusion Provider Edge

[Saku Ytti]

Apologies for hijacking.

Why are people buying into satellite concept? It will obviously have
poorer MTBF than just sticking L2 switch to a router, due to more
complex control-plane, which necessarily will mean more software
issues.

So what are the benefits gained? Easier provisioning? Getting rid of
some issues like MAC learning, which you should be able to disable in
switch too.

On related note, is no one making reasonable 1GE aggregation device,
with full DFZ? If MX104 and ASR9001 are best we have, then situation
seems dire. I don't need NPU/run-to-completion level intelligence,
some pipeline basic low-touch box would be sufficient, but isn't
anyone making those?
