Where do you get wholesale pricing from Edgecore? Simple google searches only bring up https://bm-switch.com/index.php/edge-core-as7712-32x-100g-bm-switch-preloaded-with-onie.html On Fri, Jan 5, 2018 at 1:19 PM, Hugo Slabbert <hugo () slabnet com> wrote:

E.g.: https://www.fs.com/products/69340.html For the price point, it's almost in the "too good to be true" category.The price is on par with the hardware cost of other whitebox Tomahawks, e.g. Edge-Core 32x100G models like the AS7712 or AS7716 that also runs the BCM56960, so the primary distinction seems to be that you get a NOS included in that price. I have zero experience with Broadcom's ICOS as opposed to the other options on the market, so it seems to be a question of whether you're happy with that or would be e.g. paying Cumulus or $vendor a few K USD for a license for their NOS on it. Naturally it claims to support an impressive range of features includingBGP, IS-IS, OSPF, MPLS, VRFs, blah blah blah. There was an earlier discussion about packet buffer issues, but, assuming for a second that it's not an issue, can anyone say they've used these and/or the L2/L3 features that they purportedly support?
