I'd think the Juniper MX series might fit, as well as the Brocade
NetIron XMR. And of course the Cisco you already mentioned.

Having slightly lost track of what everybody is using for peering

these days, what is the consensus about the best alternative to
Juniper M
series routers?
I'm asking as the prices to upgrade to 10Gbit capable Juniper units
(ie.
an M120) seem prohibitively high so I'm looking to get a feel for the
alternatives. The other obvious platform would appear to be a Cisco XR
12404 (or similar depending on line card requirements) but is anything
else in common use as a peering platform?
Cheers for any input.
