Is anyone of you awared of the existence of an access switch router (L2/L3) with GE interfaces and 10GE uplinks? I'm looking for something small (around 1U to 2U). Is there any vendor selling such a product?

The Summit 400 is an excellent L2 unit but a bad L3 unit. It is route-cache based with only a few thousand cache entries. Put more than a thousand flows (flows=destination IPs) on it and it'll choke. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
