I need to find a few options for switches..
My requirements are based on heavy voip traffic so the switch needs to
support a very high pps rate while not as much in the Gbps realms -
we're using small codecs. We are looking at supporting > 1M subscribers.
Initially, we will be handling media but down the road most of the media
will not need to be passed on/across our network.
I'd like to get some recommendations from the list as to vendor/models
that have been deployed and excellent performance / cost has been achieved.
I've looked at the 3com 8807 and the 7757 kits already - I'm not sure
they would fit the bill (low pps, fabric speed iffy, fabric fail-over
time questionable - that's my impression from reading on their site).
Replies off list would probably be best and thanks in advance.
