Based on the specs, the Quanta switches look like they use Broadcom merchant silicon and should have similar performance to other switches based on the same chipset: http://blog.sflow.com/2011/12/merchant-silicon.html While many vendors use merchant silicon, there is variability in firmware, exposed features, CLI etc.
