"But Juniper isn't just another startup. Take a look at its list of backers: Besides direct Cisco rival 3Com, it includes Telefon AB, LM Ericsson, Northern Telecom, Siemens, Newbridge Networks, Lucent Technologies, and WorldCom's UUNet Technologies unit. Those companies kicked in $40 million last August, which came on top of $16 million in venture funding from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, New Enterprise Associates, Institutional Venture Partners, Benchmark Capital, and Crosspoint Venture Partners.
