".. 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. " I don't disagree with you... in fact you support my statement. Read my statement again.. I say that routing is taking place at the "edge" where all the routers are interconnected via a L2-ish topology such as SONET, sometimes ATM. In this topology, the Juniper would be at the edge of the TRANSPORT network. It will be a core of the ACCESS network. Whether Juniper will be successful or not is NOT signifcantly tied to their technology. They have all the requisite speeds/feeds, they support MPLS (which is in flux, thanks to Cisco)... this allows them to ENTER the marketplace, get some customer who provide them with critical feedback, and compete against Cisco, and all the other BFR companies. Technology does not guarantee successs.. it merely allows them to compete. -- Dave
