Go figure, an actual thread about networking equipment on NANOG. :)
So reading Cisco's announcement, I go look at HP's higher end switching/rou=
ting line and I see some pretty beefy looking gear. A12500 and others. Does=
anyone have any experience with this thing -- is it white labeled from som=
eone else?
Second question -- Does anyone know of a Cascade-style box (old days) for 1=
0G aggregation? What I mean is I need about a number of ports of 10G (plugg=
able *colored* optics) with just normal L2 stuff (VLANs/dot1q) and I'd like=
to LACP/Port-channel that back to a pair of 10G ports on a router. The wri=
nkle here is that I can't use a normal enterprise 10G switch because of the=
need for DWDM optics (ideally 80km style). For this application, buffers a=
nd such are not an issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
DJ=
