[AusNOG] RouterBoard

[Tony]

A wise person I know pointed this out to me recently:

http://cumulusnetworks.com/product/overview/

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):

http://cumulusnetworks.com/support/linux-hardware-compatibility-list/

A Dell Force10 (S4810) with 48 x 10G & 4 x 40G is $10k
Quanta with same port spec is $8800
Accton AS5600-52X - $6000

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.

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 :)



regards,
Tony.

Hi
 
My main aim of this was to find out if there is another product similar to these routerboards, don’t care if the cli is different, more interested in spec and $$

CCR1036 has no 10G ports, only 1G, so im not sure why you would expect to get a single TCP stream past 1G (even with LACP since that is not how LACP works)

Hi


So I have tested routerOS ... in VM and also bought the ccr1036.

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

I like routerOS interface (have to admit I like the vyatta better from what I saw).

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 ...

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.

So are there any suggestions from the list ?

Alex
