I haven't used Arista much at all really.
We are currently swapping out our Juniper EX4550's and EX4600's for Arista's 7280SR switches, but this is purely for Layer 2 Ethernet customer aggregation in the data centre. The main issue we are having is getting support for L2PT in the Arista on par with what Juniper and Cisco can do today. So far, some of the critical protocols are trickling into test code, but there is still a little bit of way to go before we get everything we need. At any rate, it seems there are no hardware limitations in getting those protocols implemented, and Arista just need to get more people on to the code to write it all up. So that's a positive, although it is delaying our migration. In the core, been using the 7508E for 100Gbps Layer 2 Ethernet aggregation for over a year now. Apart from some fabric modules that failed in 2 switches at the same time (nothing really major as that is part of network operations), they've been solid. Mark.
