My personal itch is how new equipment seems to have even worse boot time
than previous generations. I am currently installing juniper acx710 and
while they are nice, they also make me wait 15 minutes to boot. This is
a tremendous waste of time during installation. I can not leave the site
without verification and typically I also have some tasks to do after boot.
Besides if you have a crash or power interruption, the customers are not
happy to wait additionally 15 minutes to get online again.
Switches in particular have a lot of ASICs that need to be loaded on
boot. This takes time and they're really not optimized for speed on a
process that occurs once.
