The QSFP shaped ports can take either QSFP28 (100G) or regular QSFP
(40G) transceivers. Also, it's "about 1.2M" ipv4 routes.  This is a deep
buffer broadcom jericho based box, so shows interesting potential, but
will not have the flexibility of NPU based architectures.  It will be
interesting to see if Cisco produces a competitively priced equivalent.
