If you've already looked at Cisco, Juniper, Extreme, Juniper, and Arista, that's the big ones. Everything else is increasingly niche vendors. -Adam

Features are VPC or non-vendor specific equivalent, L2/L3 BGP/OSPFv3, ACLs, functional CoPP and some sort of API to manage them. [the CLI would work, my lib can handle most Networking OS CLIs anyway] My problem point is coming from the RJ45 requirement, most vendors have one switch that they sell that is RJ45 at 10G or at the most one in each line (enterprise/datacenter) and they seem to be almost an afterthought. [probably because SFP28 is better in every way if you are already using fiber at the endpoint] sadly, we are not. I just want to make sure I am not excluding any vendors from my research. I appreciate any suggestions or recommendations. Can even keep it off-list if you want. Thanks, -Drew
