Brocade is the king of license gouging, it is no surprise they want money to view a pdf.

Do the Arista switches support netflow?
nothing about it in the datasheets, and regarding documentation:

After Brocade started doing that with the Foundry docs, which hung me out to dry one night when I needed some docs I didn't have easy access to, I decided I will try to avoid buying from companies that require a support contract to read the manual.
