Well, interestingly, in our network, Juniper makes all of our new core routers. Specifically because Cisco routers were melting down at an unacceptable rate. But there was no such thing as Juniper when we started building (so we still have a lot of Cisco routers in the network), and they don't make DSLAMs or DSL/ATM customer aggregation boxes, so we still get to deal with traffic-dependent performance. And I'm sure we're not the only network in this situation. Should I replace every box in the network with a Juniper and pass the cost along to the customers? (New line item on the bills: "we won't filter worm traffic tax") Even if I had an all-Juniper network, I'd still need to decide what to do about DDOS attacks... Do I just call my circuit vendors and keep adding OC48s until the problem goes away?
