[AusNOG] 10Gb Switching and HP COMOS5 vs 7

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hey all,

Just looking at upgrading some A5820's with A5900's...

Anyone done this and know the differences between COMOS5 and COMOS7?  HP
say its backwards compatible, but I am wondering if there are any stories -
good or bad - out there about doing it.

Also - what do people think in the 10Gb switching space?

- HP A5900 (48 ports)
- Juniper EX4550 (32 ports)
- Cisco 4500-X (32 ports)
- Brocade equivalent?
- Others?

The HP A5800 has 2mb packet buffers, the A5900 is 9mb.. the Cisco 4900
might have around 17mb, but I can't figure out what the Juniper has...
nothing is listed here: http://people.ucsc.edu/~warner/buffer.html to even
guess with.
