Also don’t agree with the 8200/9200. Most line cards on the 8200 and 9200 are oversub’d anyway, and the space/ports ratio isn’t great. > Cost per port is high compared to running with 4500/45550 setup and > can stack 10 deep as it is. I don’t know if I necessarily agree here either. The VC will quickly become a bottleneck if not already (32gb unidirectional traffic). Also, no support for 40/100g. If money is being spent, something like an Arista 7504 or Juniper QFX 5100/5200’s would make more sense here and allow for some growth not entirely based on "more 10g ports". -- Andrew Hoyos [log in to unmask]
