While it may not forward packets exactly like an M-series or MX, for the OP's purpose of simply learning JUNOS in a home lab, it will work just fine. I learned quite a bit using Olives (which don't exist), with the understanding that there were a lot of limitations. To the OP, I would also suggest checking out Juniper's website, specifically the 'Education' section. There are a ton of excellent learning tools on there - Learning Bytes, Web-Based Training, Day One books, etc.: http://www.juniper.net/us/en/training/jnbooks/ https://learningportal.juniper.net/juniper/user_activity_info.aspx?id=5853 https://learningportal.juniper.net/juniper/user_courses.aspx -evt
