Does anyone know when the switching and router vendors will release their new models with the Broadcom BCM88370 and BCM88670 chips? It looks like these chips could be used as a carrier grade router and/or metro E device. More information here: http://www.broadcom.com/press/release.php?id=s902223 and here: http://www.nextplatform.com/2015/03/19/new-dune-chips-enable-heftier-switches/
I should dig around for more information around these. Merchant chips have focused on bandwidth scaling at the expense of key features available in custom silicon. This has forced me to avoid certain hardware from even the big vendors. Bandwidth is not everything... if the approach with this new chip is different, I'd be interested. Time to hunt... Mark.
