juniper still sells 10G interfaces. my argument isn;t againt a 6500's its afine box. My point is a single 6500 even with 2 Sup's is still a single box and will have issues. a single box is not a good design with that platform. Any provider that advocates it being good is lying to you. If you tell you its because a second is $$ then fine.

the reason why people do this route is usally because a true port cost on a real router such as a juniper is 8-9k PER PORT for a gige. Not to mention juniper only made a handful of 10Gb pics and sold for ~100k each and are no longer supported by Juniper. I'd gladly spend 15k on a sup720 card and another 7k on a 16port gbic card. |
