[c-nsp] Alternate to TOR (4948)

[Gustav UHLANDER]

Hello.
Yea we are aware of that but we were pleasantly surprised with no buffer drops actually.
We are having a bunch of old ESX servers on these also with lots of north/south traffic so it doesn't seem to be that big of an issue at least not for us with our traffic profiles.

Thanks Gustav - Notice there is a difference in buffer size (4948 v Nexus), but store and forward vs cut-though may make the buffer difference moot?


Any issues with micro bursts causing drops on the Nexus? (As we see virtually none on the 4948's)


Cheers.
