[c-nsp] C8200/Spitfire/Pacific

[Phil Bedard]

Full disclosure as most of you know I work for Cisco.    We have many customers at this point running these in production networks including some of the larger carriers worldwide.  They are 400G dense devices so the market for them isn’t going to cover a huge amount of providers yet.

Just a few public references, although there are many non-public ones:  Deutsche Telekom, COLT, PacketFabric, Arelion (formerly Telia Carrier), Internet2, Microsoft running SONiC on them.   These are for the most part core/aggregation deployments.

Cisco also worked with Meta to create an OCP whitebox utilizing the Silicone One ASICs.

Thanks,
Phil

I'm equally curious that no one has really spoken about it in the wild.

Might it go the way of the NCS6000?

Mark.
