Yeah,
Routers for the whole Alphabet Soup.
MX204, MX960 are pretty much headache free. Heck even MX240 could
be a good start if you are on a budget.
( Watch for the EoL )
Distribution ( MPLS Alphabet Soup without VXLAN/EVPN )
QFX5100 made us feel like being full time members of the Juniper QA
Team. But once your find ALL the limitation of their chipset, they
won't fail you.
( Chipset limitations are not always handled by the configuration
and rendered ports unusable until the device is rebooted ... Or make you
wonder why the heck it ain't working until you find some notes in an
obscure PR )
We're going up to 100Gbps (and then 200Gbps) in distribution and
we're feeling good about the QFX being able to handle it.
PS: EVPN worked well in the Lab, but we're no using in our "scheme".

We are using MX204's as our internet routers and I want to replace our
ASR's with them to be used as an aggregate circuit router. With the
amount of 10G/40G/100G interface and the price point we have been
happy with them. The big issue was learning Junos since we are cisco shop

Hi,
Just out of curiosity, what would you recommend using for a core
router/switch from Juniper?
MX208,480,10K
Datasheets show them all as very nice and powerful devices (although
they do use a lot of rack space and side to side airflow is painful)
but I’m just wondering here what most people use and how good or bad
of an experience you have with it 😊
Thanks,
