Just so my comments are clear - the new box will replace the MX80/MX104 from an Ethernet standpoint. However, it won't replace them from a non-Ethernet standpoint. So yes, if customers still want non-Ethernet capabilities as well as low-to-medium speed Ethernet interconnects, the MX80/MX104 will certainly remain. But like I said, there is no indication from Juniper that they are going to introduce an Intel-based RE for the MX104. Juniper have no choice but to keep the MX80 and MX104 as an ASR1000 competitor. None of the M-series boxes are ideal for that. If they don't revamp this particular line, Cisco will continue to overtake them in that area.
