Hi, Last Time I went to meet the NETIRON PM in San Francisco HQ, we were part of a brainstorming session around "building a 1U MLXe BOX with high port density".
I don't know if this has moved passed the conception phase, I do hope so. But the MLXe platform is a very capable Metro-E box with lots of the usual features. I'll try to share more after my next visite.
