Hi Guys,

I need some assistance for my Juniper Technical Interview for a role in
Advanced Services team.
I'm a double CCIE with one being SP. I'm a core Cisco guy. I work for an
enterprise service provider with almost everything for networks from Cisco.
Other than Juniper Netscreen, I don't have any practical experience on
Juniper. Working on Netscreen, I'm familiar with Juniper CLI.

I have cleared a couple of tech rounds for this role, the rounds were more
related to technology so i managed to get through based on my Cisco
experience. Now it looks like it'll be a game with big boys in a
face-to-face interview in Amsterdam, focused more on Juniper stuff.

Any assistance on any killer difference between Cisco and Juniper, any
advantage of one over the another for specific features, anything tht can
help me in interview will be appreciated.

I have seen a few difference based on a very high level quick search -
1. BGP on Juniper: Communities sent by default. iBGP and eBGP have equal AD.
Deterministic MED enabled by default.
2. STP on Juniper: RSTP is default, runs single instance RSTP for all vlans
3. SP Multicast: Using SSM only for data MDT for interoperability with
Cisco. SSM not supported on Juniper for default MDT. etc...
so on.......looking for similar feature difference..

going through Juniper NSP archive now.

Many thanks.

br,
John.
