<p class="MsoNormal">At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m asking for product suggestions yet again:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re wondering if anything small & cheap (think CPE-grade) exists that supports either IS-IS or VXLAN?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If IS-IS, total route count it would have to carry would be small, probably in the ~500 range.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If VXLAN, it needs to interoperate with Arista.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If both… yay!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I say CPE-grade, I mean under C$1k (~US$800, ~€700), and can be emplaced at a customer site without any unusual infrastructure (e.g. no -48VDC power, or DIN rail mounting, non-business-office-typical).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance, everyone.<o:p></o:p></p>
