[f-nsp] Features on Brocade Ethernet platforms

[Mr. Dickerson]

VDX looks very nice. But I unable to find:

- where is configuration guide PDF ?
- is CLI is the same like on TurboIrons, FastIrons etc. ?
- how large buffers they have (per port/per port-group)

Yes, there is a configuration and command reference guide for the VDX. It is 
available on the Brocade public website. If you can not get to it, then let me 
know, and I can send it to you. 


The CLI is very much like Cisco. It is built on a complete new OS called NOS 
(Network Operating System). 


While I can not find the exact size of the buffers, we do support jumbo frames 
of 9216 bytes. We also support port-groups with latency between ports of the 
same group at 600 nanoseconds. Maximum latency within the VDX switch (ingress to 
egress) is 1.8 microseconds if going between port groups.
