Cisco look out? This is silly. Cisco has done a masterful job in becoming the 1,845 pound hairless gorilla. Juniper is a very small primate by comparison. Today, buying a rival or complementary company is accepted practice in lieu of innovation and hard work. Throw a few billion dollars at them and suddenly you've got several thousand new clients and some new gear to integrate. The folly of trying to munge code into a single base will keep the investors, analysts and customers spinning until the next magic act is formulated.
