[c-nsp] Replacing 3750X stack

[Darren O'Connor]

3850 also makes a good replacement for 3750s as they also stack and have bigger, but still smallish, buffers

Thanks

Cisco me3600x/me3800x have great buffers, although lower port count. 

Thanks

> Hi,

> We have a 3750X stack (2 switches) doing pure L2 at a small POP (Acting as a "core" switch) - The small buffers are causing a lot of performance issues, so we are looking to upgrade them.
> 
> We run pairs of 4500X's (In VSS) at some other POPs, and are quite happy with them, but Cisco dont appear to see this platform as having any longevity?

> Hoping for some recommendations on replacement switch(es) for the 3750 - The 6800's look very nice, but Ive got no idea on price?  
> 
> We are a small Service Provider, and primarily provide private networks(VRF's) to customers - All L3 is currently done on 7200's and ASR1K's
