Guaranteed delivery

Although this is a topic more suited to the CSCO/JNPR boards, I agree with your comments regarding Diffserv,RSVP, etc... Regarding the 'guaranteed delivery' issue, Cisco has been hammering home the 'packet misordering' problem ever since JNPR's 160 was declared victorious in the LightReading/Network test router competition. Here's a link.

Look for more FUD from both sides when the JNPR 320 hits the streets.

As far as SONS/GX relationship affecting the CSCO choice, from a GX technology perspective the softswitch implementors are probably just noise to the core network engineering group. I would guess that interoperability discussions are held, but that the core guys get what they want and everyone else has to hook up accordingly. If I'm Juniper and I know I've lost core business to CSCO, I may go to a GX partner and try get an annoucement out that would provide some counterpoint to the GX/CSCO press, but given the lack of any real content in the SONS/JNPR announcement, I consider it a non-event. No reason for SONS to say no as there was certainly no exclusivity involved. If they announce a joint customer win, now that's another story.
