We use them in our networks along with ASR9Ks and MXs. There are a lot of =
them deployed around the world doing very similar things as ASRs and MXs. T=
he config is more like Juniper than Cisco IMHO. Being kind of the =E2=80=9C3rd=E2=80=9D=
vendor they have a tendency to implement features proposed by both Cisco an=
d Juniper faster than Cisco and Juniper when proposed by the other vendor. =
For instance Segment Routing is a Cisco thing, but ALU has already implement=
ed it in their latest 13.0 software, Juniper is sort of dragging their feet =
on it because it=E2=80=99s a Cisco thing. Same goes for NG-MVPN (BGP signaled mu=
lticast VPN). Cisco dragged their feet on it because it was a Juniper thing=
, ALU had no issues implementing it much sooner. Most of ALUs innovation is=
on the MPLS services side. We use them for business VPN (L2 and L3) but th=
