Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to say that the Asia Pacific September edition of "Data
Communications" carried a review of high end routers in which the Juniper
networks M40 was not only the winner by default but earned the respect of the
testers (Mandeville & Nrewamn ?) for it's

. forwarding rates
. recovery from route flap
. scalability

The ariticle expected about a dozen vendors of high end (multiple OC-48
interfaces) routers from vendors such as Cisco Torrent N-Base etc to supply
product; they allocated almost a column to describing how Cisco wimped out of
testing the GSR 1200.

The M40 uses custom ASIC for forwarding and FreeBSD variant for running the
routing protocols and box management.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely.
