Well I agree, but they are not going to hold on to it forever when
MPLS comes out in Linux which I am sure will happen, then their advantage will be
lessened on that side, I don't think their only advantage comes from their software
the hardware architecture (ASICS et all) is also clearly a differentiation
point.
Of course one can argue that their software and their algorithms may also be better
implemented than a linux or freebsd solution, but that is not sure.
Right now almost no one has interest in MPLS (except telcos and large operator or ISP)
but I am confident that this will change.

Olive is used for Training , a plain JunOS 4.4 works just as well
