Distributed Router Fabrics
by Mike Hammett 01 Jan '25

01 Jan '25

I've noticed that the whitebox hardware vendors are pushing distributed router fabrics, where you can keep buying pizza boxes and hooking them into a larger and larger fabric. Obviously, at some point, buying a big chassis makes more sense. Does it make sense building up to that point? What are your thoughts on that direction? ----- Mike Hammett [ http://www.ics-il.com/ | Intelligent Computing Solutions ] [ https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL ] [ https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb ] [ https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions ] [ https://twitter.com/ICSIL ] [ http://www.midwest-ix.com/ | Midwest Internet Exchange ] [ https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix ] [ https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange ] [ https://twitter.com/mdwestix ] [ http://www.thebrotherswisp.com/ | The Brothers WISP ] [ https://www.facebook.com/thebrotherswisp ] [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSdfxQv7SpoRQYNyLwntZg ]
