[j-nsp] EX3400 switches, QSFP+ breakout

[Chris Kawchuk]

Likely to make you buy a QFX5100/5100-48T/5100-96/xxx5048 instead. (or son-of-QFX...). Speculation thinks that JNPR wants everyone into the QFX line and out of EX; the moving you towards VCF/QF datacentre/fabric-ready/CLOS switching vs traditional switching products.

<grain of salt> Likely no technical reason, other than "they didn't wan you to do it" perhaps - It all depends on what PLM is allowing on a platform vs positioning of the other products in the portfolio. </grain of salt>. 

Echoing again, best to speak with your AM/SE team in terms of product direction/roadmap.
