My personal itch is how new equipment seems to have even worse boot time than previous generations. I am currently installing juniper acx710 and while they are nice, they also make me wait 15 minutes to boot. This is a tremendous waste of time during installation. I can not leave the site without verification and typically I also have some tasks to do after boot.
Besides if you have a crash or power interruption, the customers are not happy to wait additionally 15 minutes to get online again.
Switches in particular have a lot of ASICs that need to be loaded on boot. This takes time and they're really not optimized for speed on a process that occurs once. -- Jay Hennigan - jay@west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV
