Lincoln, Why wouldn’t they? What is it Arista did others didn’t?

We also have 1M+ FIB support day one too - hence the letter 'R' denoting the evolution with 3rd generation of its evolution to internet edge/router use cases. Not sure what other vendors are doing but I doubt others are yet shipping large table support. (there's more to it than just the underlying native silicon) cheers, lincoln.
