We have a couple installed as our edge routers.
Pluses - solid as a rock, easy to administer, and will take some extremely=
high packet rates for relatively low cost (important for us since we use t=
hem for VoIP traffic). If you're approaching the capacity of a 1GB uplink, =
I highly recommend these as your first step to 10 GB.
Minuses - careful on your MX80 version. The MX80-48T includes a built in 48=
port 1 GigE switch, but we've had compatibility issues with it and other v=
endors switches. The modular version that replaces the MX80-48T costs quite=
a bit more, but it does give you a lot more connection and compatibility o=
ptions.
