Dear Mr. Mike, I would recommend HP A5500-HI. It's a very capable L3 routing switch (12k FIB) aswell as MPLS forwarder - both P and PE. It has two 10 GbE SFP+ ports and is expandable to a total of six if you add two modules. The price is about 2000 dollars (new) and you can stack them aswell us

ZTE 5950 serie MPLS routing switches are about 1500 to 3000 USD depending on configuration. They have a 4x 10G subcard. The CLI is very Cisco like. The ZTE 5960 has 32 or 64 x 10G but starts at 5k-6k. Regards Baldur Den 7. apr. 2016 02.05 skrev "Mike" : > Hi, > > Im looking to deploy more m

Mike, Nor sure how much you know about SDN or if you are in anywhere near being able to make the transition, but white-label switches may be a deciding factor for you. In fact you may be able to do it without SDN, but I cannot say for sure as we have ours configured in SDN mode. We use Edge-Cor

Hi, Im looking to deploy more mpls in my network. I like the Cisco 3600X series but the low density of 10g ports has me wanting to consider perhaps others. I would love a minimum of 4 10g ports but of course more is better. Cost would also be a factor. What are people using these days? T
