<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white">I’ve been impressed with the zero touch deployment part of it but still learning/playing with it at the moment. Though it doesn’t seem quite yet ideal in the enterprise access space, there’s some missing features
that I do like such as the various L2 security options but then again it’s definitely more Data Centre focused than enterprise access, though that may change in the future…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white">
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white">I’d also give a +1 to Ben, why pay so much for simple routing/L3 switching? In 3-5 years with some maturity I can’t see how you could ever justify the $bigvendor prices for some deployments or at least some devices
within the network. Looking at doing 40/100G and we can see its definitely looking like a good option even now.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I'm interested to see if ON is making its way down to the edge (1Gbps PoE/PoE+) or if it's mainly being used at the distribution / core layers or at the service provider level where there's little
end device connectivity and it's more about moving the packets around.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">What I don't see deployed today is a lot of technology mix, especially in switching. Customers have a preference and for support / interop / personal reasons tend to stick with a single vendor
for switching.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
