There's some queue-jumping happening for other reasons - medical/hospital a significant portion of that - but even there I'm hearing 6+ months for some switch hardware and Cisco APs are pretty uniformly "if you didn't order before March, you won't see them for over a year".

Anecdotally, I had a pair of Nexus 93180s that I ordered in May 2021 show up in February 2022, so 9 months. The estimated ship date got punted several times (probably due to being preempted by folks employing the approach Laura outlined ;-) ).
I haven't ordered anything since then, but I understand that 4-8 months isn't unexpected, still.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this discussion but I can't think of anywhere better to ask.
Has anyone seen any progress whatsoever on supply chain issues with networking hardware?
I've noticed that primary market lead times have been increasing and at the same time secondary market pricing has also been going higher at the same time, still.
What have you seen?
