I have no horse in this race, however one need only look at the NYIIX
outages list to see how well the Brocade/Extreme SLX platform works on
at-scale service provider networks...

Hey,
They all do in principle the same thing. There are memories for
longest path lookup and memories for exact lookup. I believe the trick
is to put specific prefix size, like /24 to exact lookup table,
relieving the LPM table stress greatly. Then in parallel ask both, and
take more specific
I think Extreme is doing the same thing with their Extreme OptiScale™ that
Arista is doing with their Arista FlexRoute™ and EOS NetDB™. They are both
using Broadcom Jericho /Qurman with extenal TCAM, but still has a hardware
limitiation on route table size. Then in software they filer right?
Thanks for everyone who responded on and off list.
As a small company that is happy to still be in business the pricing is too
good to ignore. A "gently used" ASR-9006 is something like $45k for one plus a
shelf spare. A brand new SLX 9540 is something like $30k for one plus a shelf
spare.
Hi,
I do have some 9540s near exchange points, but they are not 100%
productive right now, basically waiting for the next software release
this month and a maintenance window. In my eyes the device is filling
the gap between the CES/CER series and the MLX/SLX9850. It will be also
interesting
I’m just going to echo what a few others have been saying. Brocade (now
Extreme) have come a long way since the Foundry days; and the SLX isn’t
based on the old Netiron code. The platform is a completely different
animal.
I’ve been a happy Brocade customer for a while now.

Works fine for me using OpenSSH in most Linux-y terminal emulators
(Konsole, Linux console, Gnome terminal).

That was changed earlier this year AFAIK. The website was slow to get
updated but has been updated now. Current claim is 1.5M IPv4 and 140k
IPv6. You need the "advanced feature license" to
