To my eyes that looks like an Accton/Edgecore whitebox switch. The prices
for the Edgecore equivalent product are about the same.

Fiberstore is rolling out some CRAZY cheap 100Gbps switches, and I'm
curious if anyone in the community has any thoughts or real-life world
experience with them.

E.g.: https://www.fs.com/products/69340.html

For the price point, it's almost in the "too good to be true" category.

Naturally it claims to support an impressive range of features including
BGP, 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?

Thanks!
