Prove me wrong.<br><br>Cisco Nexus and Arista both have switches with 48x 10G ports and 2x - 6x 40G ports for under $1k. Swap those 40G for 100G and you're at $5k - $7k.<br><br>Am I missing some cheap switches with 100G?<br><br><br>I ask this because the transport companies seem to have given up on 40G.<br><br><br>-----<br>Mike Hammett<br>Intelligent Computing Solutions<br>http://www.ics-il.com<br><br>Midwest-IX<br>http://www.midwest-ix.com<br><br></div><br></div></body></html>
