[j-nsp] EX4600 Vs QFX 5100 VS ACX 5048

[Colton Conor]

Jerry,

Can you go into more details about the ACX's "many more MPLS and CE
features compared to the QFX" The QFX already has many more MPLS features
than an EX4600.

The ACX juniper seems to sell at a high price premium compared to the
QFX5100. Same hardware, just different stand of Junos. I want to know what
enhanced features the ACX has over the QFX5100.
