[c-nsp] Cisco Switch Packet Buffering Matrix?

[Skeeve Stevens]

Well, I assume someone from Cisco has seen this request.

I don't have the time dicking around with vendors who won't willing give the information that is needed for pre-sales.

So I will just look at Arista, Juniper and ProCurve... I hear they have a bunch of new kit to look at.
