What we are planning to do is run 2 VDX 8770's at distribution coming from our MX's at core, then having the 6710's at TOR. This utilizes TRILL so we can effectively run 60Gbit to the rack, I want to make sure these have a good l3 forwarding table as the RX (last layer3 experience with brocade) fell over with a mid sized SYN attack (few m pps)
Brocade comes out cheaper than other solutions (cisco specifically) even when you have distrib pricing.
