I don't expect a box like this to scale infinitely.  It's merchant silicon
and this comes with reasonably well understood scaling limitations (e.g.
routing instances, port buffers, LAG hashing, etc) - that's the trade-off
for getting the port cost down from what you'd otherwise pay for bigger
iron.  It's just that as it stands, the box does not compete especially
well with products from other vendors in terms of bang per buck.
