>> I remember reading about Juniper before they came public and wondered why CSCO did not buy them out early.

Cisco buys companies as a form of r&d and to acquire engineering talent. They may have considered jnpr's products as evolutionary, making the r&d value minimal, and since the talent had spun from csco, realized they wouldn't be able to hold on to them afterwards.
