And this is something I've been telling Juniper for years 
(not that they don't already know). The M7i and M10i have 
really done all they can - but trying to get an Ethernet box 
to do non-Ethernet things, while possible, is simply not 
economically viable for operators (FlexWAN's, SIP's, MX 
FPC's, anyone?).

They really need to solve this one.

The MX80 had no competition from Cisco, until the ASR9001 
came out (and it supports 40Gbps line cards when they come 
out).

Juniper are dropping the ball on this one. But hopefully, 
they're busy in the lab building a decent ASR1000 
challenger.

Mark.
