Got you - artificially disabling 90% of the features otherwise supported by the OS and using half baked HAL makes product SDN ready! Sorry for the sarcasm, couldn¹t resist :) Cheers, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Eduardo Schoedler <listas@esds.com.br> Date: Tuesday, January 13, 2015 at 2:28 PM To: "nanog@nanog.org" <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Re: Recommended L2 switches for a new IXP
My mistake, it's the OCX1100. http://www.networkworld.com/article/2855056/sdn/juniper-unbundles-switch-h ardware-software.html

What does it mean - to be SDN ready?
Cheers, Jeff

Is there any particular reason you prefer EX4600 over QFX5100 ? Not counting obvious differences like ports and upgrade options.
It's the same chipset after all, and with all upgrades they have the same 10G density (with breakouts). Is that because you can have more 40G ports with EX4600 ?
I'm still trying to find out if there are any noticeable software or feature differences.

People seem to be avoiding recommending actual devices, well I would recommend the Juniper EX4600 -

They are affordable, highly scalable, stackable and run JunOS.
We've been quite happy with the EX4550, but the EX4600 is good too, particularly if you're coming from its younger brother.
