Arista DCS-7280SRA-48C6 is a 1ru box. Has a nominally million route fib, Jericho+ 8GB of packet buffer. control-plane is 8GB of ram andAMD GX-424CC SOC which is 4 core 2.4ghz. We do direct fib injection with bird rather than the arista bgpd but the control-plane is capable of managing quite a few bgp sessions. the 1/2ru 7280CR2K-30 and 60 are 2m route fib boxes with still heftier control planes but they're a different class of box being all 100G and requiring multi-chip/internal fabrics. > /kc > > On Thu, Nov 30, 2017 at 10:45:09AM -0800, Tyler Conrad said: > >For Enterprise/DC, it works great.
