Hi Jo,

Well, it seems Extreme is not really very active with EOS anymore, this is the slow path for this code nowadays. Their attention seems more about XOS which is more promising.

To my experience, I "only" had to deplore some series of BD6800 chassis which seems to refuse to work properly... a bad serie I guess, but I know some customers having them. I'm running some Extreme boxes in various customers network (ISP or not) without more problem than other brands.


Regards,


Stephane.
