Check out the 7280sr2k, which is actually 24*10G, 24*25G, 6*100G

> I love the NCS5501, but once Arista gets the 2M-route capacity down into the 48x10g format, I'd jump ship in a heartbeat; currently you have to do a much larger chassis-based device or their 100gig 7280 to have that route scale.  My big gripes with the 5501 are that, due to its architecture, if you want to do uRPF, you chop your route scale in half, even on the 5501-SE.  5501 also has no supported configuration where you have both first hop redundancy and physical path redundancy, because you can't do both VRRP (its only redundant first hop option) and BVI's, can't do MC-LAG, can't do vPC, so you need switches in addition to the 5501's if that's the goal..
