Is it paradoxical to wonder what low-cost full table (or close to it) 400G options there are? An earlier thread looks like the Arista 7280QR-C36 is "almost" there for 100G at a reasonable $3k, but a quick look at 400G-capable goes up, well, 4x in price, though one does get fully into DFZ capable devices then. It seems like anything with more than low 6 digit route capability goes into full-scale multi-million capability, which is great technically, but not so great financially. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com
