So I ended up pulse buying this edge router for $550 everything is working on it, it powers on and reads good. I know I ask a shit load of questions and I've pretty much already googled this edge router so I know its pretty good but I just want to get some pros and cons from people who have actually used it. Can anyone tell me some experiences preferable the life span on this baby.

    It's an EOL kit already. No support for 10G Ethernet. More suited for ATM. Haven't touched it in my life, but taking in account it's EOL and the routing table has grown, potentially won't support full table - worth checking with someone who worked with this kit.

    That looks like a nice toy anyway. :P

    On top of what @Clouvider said - I have a feeling that this is extremely un-efficient in terms of energy consumption.

    The Ethernet support is basically a make it or break it for me unfortunately. I have a 20G network capacity right now so this router might not do anything for me. At least I got it for the low and can easily resell it on ebay or something. Although I might fiddle with it for a while to learn some things before selling it.

    Yeah. Look into MX104 (used if budget won't allow) if you need HW that can actually cope with some current network requirements.

    I second that! The amount of money saved on space+power would likely pay you for a lease for MX104.

    You can lease a MX104 in the US?

    Yeah, Juniper can put you in touch with a good reseller, and if they want to sell it to you I'm sure they will find a way to finance it ;-).

    Question here is does he really need a MX104.

    2x 10G pipes and full tables. If budget allows I'd go for it. Better to do stuff right the first time if possible :-).

    Below MX104 there's MX80 and lower, but you don't have the dual routing engine capability and the CPU is even slower meaning convergence times hurt.

    ????

    How does it have any connection to @KeKe? Are you trolling?

    Edit: Ok. Guess you have linked to the wrong thread.

    https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/95636/don-t-get-scammed bottom Thanks @AlexBarakov

    In that case this is where I stop sharing any knowledge in his threads.

  • @Clouvider sorry for the confusing information. It does say in that threat Jarland accusing him of being Joshua.

    @jarland's Prout detection device is very finely tuned by now. There is no escape.
