Back to this discussion! :) Arista as a viable full-table PE router. Was hoping for better experience reports since last mention.
To make the Q bit more general, are there any PE routers yet that can handle 3-8 full feeds and use an amp and 1U or so instead of 5 and 4U? Or we're ito whitebox/ open routers still for that (bird/openbgp?) or microtiks? /kc On Thu, Nov 30, 2017 at 10:45:09AM -0800, Tyler Conrad said: >For Enterprise/DC, it works great.
