Hi All, I am curious to figure out if someone would have deployed / examined / researched White Box Switches with Open Network OS (like Cumulus, Pluribus etc) in Service Provider Carrier networks as "P" router doing only Label Switching functionality (LSR) i.e. doing IP/MPLS Label switching (not in Data Center) with all the functions turned on (MPLS LDP, RSVP TE, OSPF/ISIS, PIM, QOS). Datasheet of Network OS do not support all the required feature sets.
The bottom line is we are trying to refresh the current hardware (of course vendor locked in) in our network to something new and robust. And I had a thought if White box switches could be used for "P" functionality. Anyways for "PE" which needs service intelligence and creation, established platforms would be put (ASR9K, MX,7750SR). thanks Arun _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
