They're both in both places, but yeah, if 100G is the hot to trot item (it finally is), that means I can afford 40G. :-)
40G hardware is likely to be older and therefore more affordable. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gino Villarini" <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected] Sent: Saturday, February 27, 2016 11:05:10 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 40G 40g is for lan, wan has jumped to 100g Sent from Outlook Mobile On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 8:37 AM -0800, "Mike Hammett" < [email protected] > wrote: For those of you that have looked at 40G, what are your thoughts on the hardware available? I'm looking at primarily switching, though something that does VPLS, CE or similar features would be nice. Something with TRILL or a TRILL derivative would be nice too. I'm not talking Juniper MX scale. Light on power is one of the biggest priorities. It doesn't need to have a million ports, either. I do like the Nexus 9k that we've got, but in some areas, something with more functionality would be nice. I'm perfectly aware that what I want feature wise may not be available cost wise. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP
