We looked at their CER/CES line back in 2009/2010 when we=20
were scoping for kit to deploy our MPLS In The Access=20
topology.

That time, the box only did 512,000 entries in the FIB, but=20
clearly the newer iron has had an upgrade on the inside :-).=20
This is good!

Inevitably, we settled for Cisco's ME3600X, after realizing=20
we didn't need to carry a full table in the Access (and=20
could still provide IP Transit services in the Access=20
easily), and at the time, even though the Cisco was much=20
newer, the mid-term feature road map was better.
