I was under the impression Juniper market share had been falling consistently. But it sounds like there is a market where they are still doing well, what is it? Enterprise something?

Juniper is still decently popular in their core routing business. On k12 and small enterprise they've had good fortune with their Mist acquisition. I think the latter was honestly the main driver for the merger.

I think GP was trying to say a few network companies are buying everything up not that Juniper had a majority share itself though. Look at the merger graphs for Cisco, HPE (adding in Juniper's now), and Extreme and a lot of the diversity that used to be "not Cisco" and became alternative growth is going back to being a few companies with a stranglehold on share again.

Ah, that interpretation makes more sense than mine, thank you!
