[c-nsp] Cisco Switch Portfolio Miss

[Chris Evans]

Have you guys ever looked at the HP 5900 series??

HP's 5900, Arista and Cisco 3K's all use the same broadcom trident+
chipsets. HP 5900 comes in a few models, one which is a 48 port SFP+ with
4xQSFP+ that is 21K list. They also have a 48 port Copper 10gig version
with 4QSFP+ that lists at 21K too. No licenses, full L3 feature set (BGP,
OSPF, ISIS, etc.). It even supports MPLS, VPLS, Trill, SPB, FCoE, IRF
virtualization, list goes on and on.

Feature wise it has all of the features the 5K and 3K's have in one box for
less cost.
