I'm done now. Have a nice day.
Oh so you quit. I win yet again - but not like there was any question as to the outcome in the first place.
Your starring e-peen accomplishment was 'I have helped to build several SP networks over the last 20 years....' in response to my stating you have done nothing of significance. It is a good thing you confirmed it. Low end to mid tier providers are typically ignorant using inferior technology due to the fact that they hire unqualified resources such as yourself.
Now if you had stated something like "I lit up the first oc-768 for commercial use" or was the architect for one of the world's largest financial transaction networks then you might have some creds. But until you do, go crawl back under your rock and keep providing sub par advise to whoever employs you. Kids these days, no respect whatsoever.....
Oh and let me re-iterate, Cisco is junk. Always has been and always will be. It is ingrained into the company culture just as Apple prefers to steal technology rather than develop it on their own. As for your 'router OS' statement, my response it is 'man routed' - it is, has and always will be all you need.
And lastly, lulz at the monkey claiming 20 years 'experience' who doesn't know what a class A IP address is. Do you have your CCIE as well? Did you cry?
I bet your an asbolute joy to work with.....
Cisco is NOT junk, expensive yes, but junk no. Yes Brocade, Juniper and alcatel make some fantastic products but using the top end netiron for a LAN is insane. How you can presume to spec an environment when you haven't even seen it? It's also worth pointing out that partnership factors into these kind of architectural decisions, we as a company get huge (40%+) discounts on cisco kit which makes the majority cheaper than the brocade and juniper alternatives and when our customer is paying the bills, it's up to them to sign it off.
We architect, develop, build and support the largest Video on demand platforms in the world from AT&T to disney, C4 to the seesaw platforms and we use cisco almost entirely for these environments because they're the most effective given the specification.
Yeah we have Juniper and Brocade devices on our edge and are migrating to netiron for our edge BGP routing but saying the biggest network equipment vendor is 'junk' is stupid, mis-informed and in all likelihood trolling.
Do you work for brocade or something? Or are you just an advocate of the high port density their devices provide? Cisco suits TQ fine and the minute they need 2 billion packets a second I'm sure they'll look to brocade.
You sound like you just need to smoke a fat one and chill out. 
Flame away, as I'm sure your ego wont let these comments go unanswered....
