Hi,

What about "H3C" "3com" S5820X ?

May be renamed or renumbered to hp procurve,
but spec says:

"...
 Additionally, in order to reduce
 latency in the network core or data center environment, the
 S5820X features cut-through switching as well as store and
 forward mode switching.
 ...
 Forwarding Latency <1.9 µsec (FIFO 64-byte packets)
 ...
"

For a < 200W (under full load) device 
(compared to the 1100W of my 4900M's )
this sounds good for Layer2 device.

Any experience with that box ?

cu, 

Juergen.
