[c-nsp] Cisco Nexus 3064

[Satish Patel]

Here you go, we are running Nexus 3064PQ used switches and pretty much 200 switches we have installed in our datacenter as a tor switches and running vPC to between them to increase bandwidth, we are also running BGP, OSPF routing protocols, But for that you need IP enterprise license, check license requirement.

I have not idea about MPSL and VPLS but I believe that should work too. 

I’m extremely happy with these switches they have very low latency and very fast switching. Let me know if you have any question about these switches.
