[f-nsp] Where have all the MLX/XMR users gone to?

[i3D.net - Martijn Schmidt]

If I recall correctly you're using a lot of 10G ports in the Init7 FTTO hubs right? Have you considered getting a box with lots of QSFP+/QSFP28 ports and doing some breakout with patchpanels? This can be done with QSFP+ MPO LR4 transceivers too since you probably need singlemode, the folks from FlexOptix can hook you up with those!

We are, by the way, moving to Juniper hardware in the DFZ routing layer ourselves. The MX204 is our new bread and butter.

Best regards,
Martijn

We‘re testing the SLX for a while now but figured that quite a bit of the wheel got reinvented, or, to be more precise, the new wheel is only halfway round as of today.

Any suggestions for $other_vendor? I actually liked the hardware of the SLX - 24*10G and 12*100G.

Meanwhile, BGP4 aggregation is our new buddy... #LifeBeyond750k.

I think everyone is phasing out their X-scalability hardware in anticipation of the global routing table growing larger than 786k IPv4 routes. These boxes don't have a long life ahead of them as a DFZ router, unless you only use X2-scalability cards in your chassis.. and with operators essentially being forced to upgrade to a completely different platform (SLX or $other_vendor), Brextreme's advantage of being the incumbent vendor in the network is pretty much completely negated.

Finally, as a BDA, let me tell you that being stabbed in the back when it comes to my certification record has not benefited my opinion of the new owner(s) of the Brocade diaspora. Why they decided to not only pull the plug on the entire Brocade education program, but also delete the historical certification database from CertMetrics, is beyond me. It has become impossible to check the validity of years' worth of Brocade credentials.

Nope, just very little chatter.
