Jared, Which Arista box do you use for FTTH features? Whats the cost like as FTTH boxes are usually inexpensive, and Arista is not know to be inexpensive compared to something like Calix or Adtran. On Thu, Nov 30, 2017 at 1:32 PM, Jared Mauch <jared@puck.nether.net> wrote:

Back to this discussion! :) Arista as a viable full-table PE router. Was hoping for better experience reports since last mention.
To make the Q bit more general, are there any PE routers yet that can handle 3-8 full feeds and use an amp and 1U or so instead of 5 and 4U? Or we're ito whitebox/ open routers still for that (bird/openbgp?) or microtiks?
The 7280 is likely what you’re looking at. Lots of folks also use MikroTik as well if the traffic is in the 1G range or so.
I for one use Arista for Layer3 for FTTH purposes as it gives me good software/hardware support for my features.
