        Yeah,<br>
    <br>
    Routers for the whole Alphabet Soup.<br>
    <br>
        MX204, MX960 are pretty much headache free.  Heck even MX240
    could be a good start if you are on a budget.<br>
        ( Watch for the EoL )<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Distribution ( MPLS Alphabet Soup without VXLAN/EVPN )<br>
    <br>
        QFX5100 made us feel like being full time members of the Juniper
    QA Team.  But once your find ALL the limitation of their chipset,
    they won't fail you.<br>
        ( Chipset limitations are not always handled by the
    configuration and rendered ports unusable until the device is
    rebooted ... Or make you wonder why the heck it ain't working until
    you find some notes in an obscure PR )<br>
    <br>
        We're going up to 100Gbps (and then 200Gbps) in distribution and
    we're feeling good about the QFX being able to handle it.<br>
    <br>
        PS: EVPN worked well in the Lab, but we're no using in our
    "scheme".<br>

              Hi, </p>
            <p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt;
              font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
              Just out of curiosity, what would you recommend using for
              a core router/switch from Juniper?</p>
            <p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt;

            <p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt;
              font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
              Datasheets show them all as very nice and powerful devices
              (although they do use a lot of rack space and side to side
              airflow is painful) but I’m just wondering here what most
              people use and how good or bad of an experience you have
              with it
