Mostly backwards compatibility; simplicity. We're planning for some
super-high-density virtualization/storage projects mixed in with lower
bandwidth gear, and sticking to one type of cable for everything would be
convenient. I thought DAC had some distance limitations as well.

Hey guys,
Does anyone here have experience running copper 10Gbase-T networks? It
seems like the standard just died out. For us it would make a lot of sense
for our applications -- even if throughput and latency aren't as great. If
anyone out there knows of any *copper* 10 gig-t switches (48 port?)
I'm surprised I haven't seen QoS mentioned! If you're teaching college
students, you might want to go over stuff that directly relates to what
they're doing at home, or misconceptions they might make in a small
WAN/ISP environment.

Correction... Meant gigabits -- we're not at that point yet ;)

We've dealt with these guys too too. There are lots of providers; I've used
ones through ISPs and they can work well. Our only issue is that the ISP we
were talking with only had XYZ Gb of mitigation, and Prolexic has a ton more
capacity (in the hundreds of gigabits when I last checked).

I'll chime in,
In an enterprise environment, I've worked with software routers as well as
hardware beasts (ala Junipers, Cisco 6500s, ASAs, and more).
Ultimately, the network is as reliable as you build it. With software, it's
much cheaper to divide and scale horizontally. Hardware devices are

We're using both an F5 BigIP as well as Nginx (open source software) in a
production environment.
They both have their merits, but when we recently came under some advanced
