hey,
> Juniper has chosen to use their own silicon for most of their dense 100G platforms, but you’ll see these chips used by pretty much everyone else I imagine at some point in the next year.
Juniper silicon has one big advantage over BCM88670 - it supports 2M FIB
entries. This makes PTX1000 (and QFX10002) very attractive platform for SPs.
