The EX 4650 does indeed do 25G.

For your requirements, although I hesitate to recommend them for enterprise/carrier use, Miktotik's EoIP protocol does a much better job of this than most "carrier-grade" implementations. Otherwise, Juniper and Arista both come to mind, Juniper has the EX4650 that matches your h/w specs, and Arista has, oh, at least half a dozen boxes of various spec that comply, too. Not 100% sure the Juniper EX does 25G, now that I think of it.

Dear folks,
have anyone already tried to run VXLAN/EVPN + “Bridge Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling” on Cumulus Linux as an replacement for classic MPLS L2VPN/VPWS (“xconnect”, l2circuit, VLL) ?
I need to provide transparent Ethernet P2P virtual leased lines to my customers and these have to support stuff like LLDP, STP, LACP, etc. The transport L2 network is not THAT big: max hops between VTEP is 4.
Anyone have suggestions for the below hardware request? #) 1-3U L2/L3 box #) 48x SFP28 / 1/10/25G #) 6x QSFP28 / 100G #) VXLAN/EVPN with L2 tunneling support or #) MPLS VPWS/l2circuit #) Dual PSU
thanks & best regards Jürgen
