A thing that is barely more capable than a Cisco 3750G (which can do static L3 routes or iBGP) is NOT a real router. It's a switch.
Show me any serious routing platform from Cisco, Juniper, alcatel-lucent, huawei or ZTE that does 2.5G SFP.

The NetVana 1544 is also a L3 Switch and does OSPF/BGP too! Heh.

If people do layer 2 over $6,000+ microwave for backbone links between two POPs, that is a really bad idea in my opinion. WISPs love to build layer 2 clusterfucks because a lot of small ones start with basically no OSPF or BGP knowledge.
Show me a real router platform that is in common use that supports 2.5 Gbps SFP (not SFP+ on a rate limited port).

So I’d have to use all three SFPs, and one copper gig to get it?
Other notes: it appears they’re keying it up.. so you get to pay extra to unlock capacity to 1100Mbps and again to unlock max capacity to 2200Mbps.
Oh and if you want AES-256, you get to pay again. The 1MB packet buffer.. seems low.
Anybody else have any thoughts? Anybody got one yet?
