Here are some interesting tidbits found recently...
The US DoD will be using a Juniper "M7i" for their ipv6 testbed:
https://spot.hpcmo.hpc.mil/hpc/docs/Htdocs/DOC-MIL/DREN/CONFERENCE/2003/2003_ron_broersma_ipv6_pilot.ppt
Mention of the M7i and M10i in this document:
http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:CHexJWF9Db0J:www.ietf.org/IESG/Implementations/rfc-2338-implementation.txt+juniper+m7i&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
From the PDF, regarding DREN implemention of ipv6:
No great incentive for DREN sites to implement IPv6
no near term win
additional effort and complexity, generally not funded
Can't deploy in a safe and secure manner
Existing DREN intrusion detection (IDS) architecture incompatible with maturity of products in use
Juniper port mirror lacks IPv6 support
Anybody know what a the new M7i and M10i routers are? Specs, price estimates, release dates, etc?
