Thank you for your reply,
I really would think about something faster then gig ethernet. Merchant silicon is changing the world, take a look at guys like Quanta, I just bought two T3048-LY2 switches with Cumulus software for under 6k each. That gives you 48 10 gig ports and 4 40 gig ports to play with, to save on optics use SFP+ copper cables. If you want to save even more money go with used 10 gig infiniband off eBay, you can do that for under $100 a port. ><> nathan stratton | vp technology | broadsoft, inc | +1-240-404-6580 | www.broadsoft.com <http://www.broadsoft.com/>
This is very interesting! I've red about linux-flavored network hardwares probably a few days ago, I suppose this T3048-LY2 is one of them? If so, have you run tests and compare them with established hardware (CISCO, Juniper, Dell, HP, etc.)?
I'm under the opinion that under the hood they all use the same hardware (the article mention this point, I think) but I haven't met anyone who uses this 'Cumulus' so I want to know what you have found so far.
