We have tested the 5500 series Nortel switches in our cluster
environment and have seen good performance with them. I'm not so sure
I'll buy 3Com again. Their little foray out of real networking and then
claiming to come back didn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
I've also got some Force10 S50's we've been using. They work well but
are really too expensive for something like this. With performance
equivalent to the 550 series, and almost a 2x cost premium, I'm not
likely to go back there.

Does a layer 3 switch make sense on a Beowulf cluster running on GigE?
If so, does anyone have any recommendations?
Tech specs for the 5510, and no I don't have shares.
