Juniper was created by a lot of companies that didn't have a presence in the core of the Internet. With the build-out growing in the 100's of times going forward there is lots of room for startups. The only problem is they don't have any depth of products and the field is constantly changing.

I don't see them as much of a threat because the demand is growing so fast for these products. Nobody has a monopoly on technology so the best should do well going forward, especially Cisco.

Cisco does not need Juniper.

You think so? Remember, Juniper isn't using proprietary stuff. In fact, they are making their equipment interoperable with Cisco's stuff. So it wouldn't take much for them to upgrade their router OS (JUNOS) to comply with standards. Unless you are implying that Cisco could get a standard approved which directly competes with/obviates tag switching (MPLS). Hmm. I wonder what that would do to Juniper. I guess we'll see sometime this year or next.
