It is only the software though, you then buy your own "bare metal" switch hardare to run it on (that has the ports that you require):<br>

A Dell Force10 (S4810) with 48 x 10G & 4 x 40G is $10k<br>
Quanta with same port spec is $8800<br>
Accton AS5600-52X - $6000<br>
<br>
All prices are just ones that I found using google. No idea how relevant they are to what you might actually be able to get the hardware you require for when you ask someone for a quote.<br>
<br>
I don't know how the cost or performance works out, so please report back to the list if you find any more details or evaluate them :)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">Hi<br>
<br>
<br>
So I have tested routerOS ... in VM and also bought the ccr1036.<br>
<br>
I'm not 100% happy with the ccr1036. Basically can't push 1 tcp stream past 1Gb/s I can get 8-9Gb/s with multiple streams. I can get UDP up to 9.8Gb/s<br>
<br>
I like routerOS interface (have to admit I like the vyatta better from what I saw).<br>
<br>
But now I need to find something similar to these devices around the same price and around the same performance, I would like to push it all to a VM but Brocade want my 1st and 2nd child ...<br>
<br>
So routerOS support is nowhere close to Cisco and rightly so for the price, so I have some hesitancy in rolling these things out, especially if they are going into the core.<br>
<br>
So are there any suggestions from the list ?<br>
<br>
Alex<br>
