[NANOG]Re: Hardware for MPLS/SR network

[Fredrik Holmqvist / I2B <fredrik () i2b se>]

Hi.

Would recommend taking a look at:
Arista DCS-7280SR-48C6 (6x 100G + 48x 10G SFP+)  available at around USD 
2,000 (eBay)
Arista DCS-7280QR-C36 (12x 100G + 24x 40G (can be split to 4x10, or use 
QSFP-SFP+ adapters for single SFP+)  available for around USD 1,800 
(eBay)

There is many more models available.
Arista is good HW, supports MPLS and VXLAN.
