AVCI potential.........Bigger challenges may come from Lucent (NYSE:LU - news), Alcatel (NYSE:ALA - news), and upstarts such
as Avici Systems (NasdaqNM:AVCI - news) and Pluris. These companies are looking down the road at a time when
communications providers will be delivering streaming video and other data-intensive applications that could overwhelm the
routers that Juniper currently sells.

Avici, in particular, is a ``competitive threat,'' according to ABN Amro analyst Ken Leon. The company's ``scalable'' routers
can carry five times more data than the current Juniper models. Although Avici has grabbed less than 1% of the market, it is
lining up some powerful customers, including AT&T (NYSE:T - news), France Telecom (NYSE:FTE - news), and Qwest
Communications (NYSE:Q - news). ``I would have expected Juniper to move more quickly into this market,'' says Tim Smith,
a network-infrastructure analyst at DataQuest.
