I'm referring to the DC not SP class chips. So XGS if you are a Broadcom fan or any of the half a dozen other options. Because if you really are going to go commodity, why go commodity when there is only one option (DNX) vs. multiple with more coming in at a decent pace in the DC class. Your really trading out lock-in if stick to SP class chips in the commodity space, at least until there are more alternatives.
