cheap MPLS router recommendations

Mon Oct 19 15:50:34 UTC 2020

I haven't tried one myself, but Dasan Zhone has the M2400 and M3000.
Basically, a whitebox with IP Infusion code on it. New, I think the price
point is sub $2000 to $4000 new. That's a ton of ports for that price
point. Anyone tried these yet?
