Actually, as I read more about it and watch more videos about it, it seems like that isn't necessarily true. The claims they have at the top end surpass what any chassis platform I've seen is capable of, though I don't know that they actually have pushed the upper bounds of what's possible in the real world. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Hammett" <na...@ics-il.net> To: "NANOG" <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Friday, December 20, 2024 10:06:36 AM Subject: Distributed Router Fabrics I've noticed that the whitebox hardware vendors are pushing distributed router fabrics, where you can keep buying pizza boxes and hooking them into a larger and larger fabric. Obviously, at some point, buying a big chassis makes more sense. Does it make sense building up to that point?
