>>Now CIEN will work more closely with vendors like Juniper and not favor CSCO routing gear.<< With respect to Juniper, here is an old press release... >>CIENA Corporation and Juniper Networks, provider of the industry-leading M40 Internet backbone router, today announced successful interoperability testing between Juniper Networks' M40 router and CIENA's MultiWave Sentry(tm) dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical networking system. The announcement demonstrates the direct connectivity of Juniper Networks' and CIENA's equipment and showcases the availability of an integrated Internet Protocol (IP)-to-DWDM solution that dramatically simplifies IP packet transmission via a MultiWave© optical core. ``Competitive carriers and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) searching for better alternatives to legacy network architectures will find the results of our interoperability testing with Juniper compelling,' said Steve Chaddick, CIENA's senior vice president, strategy and corporate development. ``The capacity, reliability and flexibility of a network built with Juniper's M40 routers on a CIENA MultiWave optical core offers significant bandwidth and service flexibility.' Testing between CIENA and Juniper Networks utilized cross- continent IP to DWDM network topologies. The evaluation also demonstrated the M40's ability to meet the stringent jitter measurements required by the Bellcore GR 253 standard by successfully passing jitter-free packets continuously using the MultiWave Sentry system.<< More at: ciena.com
