"The biggest change in the latest release is a redesigned shell called FusionCLI based on the bash command shell. It looks like the previous version's XORP shell, but is more powerful and will simplify future development. FusionCLI is different from the Cisco IOS CLI, but will feel familiar to those using the Juniper OS CLI. Other features new to this release are remote access VPN, WAN link load balancing, ECMP, PPPoE, role-based user access, and tunnel interfaces. Improvements in this release include the routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, and BGP), DHCP client reliability, and additional QoS traffic shaping mechanisms."
