"I grant you that within a given transport network most "routing" takes place at the edge (and is really interface/speed conversion) and the middle is going to be some L2-ish technology (SONET, ATM)." Hey Dave, Juniper's M40 router is actually an Internet backbone router, not an edge router like others have suggested. It is extremely fast and allows service providers to scale their backbones to OC-48 speeds (very very fast). Also, the M40 comes with interface cards for ATM, DS3, Gigabit Ethernet, and SONET technologies. The key thing to note is that the M40 was implemented in conjunction with the EITF's emerging MPLS standard. That would mean that Cisco couldn't compete with JUNOS technology by introducing their own standard, because the M40 is built on EITF standards! If anyone wants to know more about this kick ass company and their product, look at this link: juniper.net I wish this company were public. I guarantee you I'd be an owner.
