How does that compare to Extreme Networks x670? I'm looking at a project where four big switches are needed. If I can buy them from my friend in NZ, they're like $6k. They're about $12k here because I'm not some super platinum certified whatever like he is over there.
48x 10GigE and 4x 40GigE . Not exactly non-blocking on the uplink, but probably enough. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gino Villarini via Af" <[email protected]> To: "<[email protected]>" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2014 2:46:29 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Gpon or 10g-pon sfp...when?

We will be laying the fiber for active but if we can save on space by not needing 300+ sfp ports plus battery backup for all those switches. We are looking at the Planet switch which has 16 SFP ports. If we use GPON that is 16 SFP ports * 32 customers per port = 512 customers instead of only 16 customers per switch! To do active we would need 19 switches! -Louis On Sun, Oct 19, 2014 at 1:20 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) via Af < [email protected] > wrote: > To slightly hijack this.
