We are looking at various solutions for 1-RU 100 Gig for a new DC project. Most of the vendors have a similar/identical model that compares, only Juniper's had some anomalies.
They list their system throughput the same as the other vendors do... but they list the packets per second forwarding rate as nearly half of the other three competitors. What does that mean?
They all list "up to" 6.4Tbps throughput, but for forwarding capacity the QFX lists up to 2.4bpps while three other vendors listed their switches up to 4.5bpps.
Can anyone explain what that means exactly? Is it accurate and truthful?
My other two questions: it also had a much, much lower list price... do you need a "basic license" to even turn the thing on? And when did that thing first come out? Can't find the date.
It's really hard to compare across vendors.
