Thanks for your in-depth response on Juniper's M40 and others' state-of-art routers that potentially can take a bite out of Cisco's high end router business.

Unfortunately the comparison pits the challengers' state-of-art systems against mature Cisco equipment. Unaddressed are Cisco's technology enhancements for the 7500 and 1200 routers and new products coming out of Cisco's R&D pipeline that could mitigate the challengers' performance advantage. And then there's Cisco's end-to-end solution including support that is hard to match in this industry (especially by the upstarts) that carries a lot of weight in boardrooms where purchasing decisions are made. But your points are well taken -- a 10% bite out of Cisco's router market could really hurt Cisco's bottom line.
