Hello,

seems somebody woke up early today and released some SLX 9640 sheets:

Datasheet

Product page
https://www.extremenetworks.com/product/slx-9640/

So there are 24x10 GbE ports enabled and up from 4 to 12 dual 100/40 GbE 
ports with the possibility for a 4x25G breakout. Comparing to the 9540 
model it scales up to 4M IpV4 and 800k IPv6 routes directly in the FIB 
and also there is a small boost of the forwarding capacity.  You will 
still need the additional advance license for MPLS, OptiScale, … .

And besides it has a cool purple front,  I can't make out any other 
relevant difference between the 9540 and 9640 model right now. So 
basically the size of the FIB and the 100 GbE port density underline 
this model.

Regards
Jörg
