[c-nsp] Open Networking Switches feedback

[Nick Cutting]

I am also interested in hearing about success or horror stories relating to this.
We have some many complex connections between clients and public clouds and old / new datacenters, with MacGyver solutions and spaghetti everywhere - I sometimes think I need those 271.5 features in my top of rack switches just so I am ready for the next ridiculous client request.

All the marketecture around the whitebox switches is a bunch of linux guys living a perfect world with a very simple network.
It might work for a single enterprise network, but not in the dirty cloudy world I have to live in.  We have a lot of grumpy old network engineers and not enough developers.

Hello,

Has any one here tried Big Switch, Pica8, Cumulus or any of those open networking prdoducts? I’d appreciate feedback from someone that actually used them.

Thanks
Sam
