<p class="MsoNormal">Some of our staff run a hobby LAN one day a month that
attracts about 100 players for 12-24 hours.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently the guys are running multi 1GB trunks, some 6GB
trunks between switches and 4GB trunks to servers for the day, but there has
been talk of wanting to experiment with 10Gb gear at a hobby level. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The budget isn’t huge, maybe about $1,000 per month to
spend on gear, but LAN days are usually good test beds to skill up and play
with this kind of gear.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My Question is :What’s the cheapest and nastiest 10Gb
consumer grade gear, if it exists yet, that anyone knows about?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Both switches and cards.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of the guys mentioned <a href="http://www.extremenetworks.com/" target="_blank">http://www.extremenetworks.com/</a> ,
not sure if this is nasty enough though?</p>
