Hola list,

Cool quiet Saturday night, with a easy question for those already onto the harder stuff...

What is available in low cost switches that have SFP+ for 10G? The cheapest I've come up with is a Netgear...$670 24x1g 4xSFP+<http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Networking_-_Wired/Gigabit_Switches/58774-DGS-1510-28X>

I feel like there must be other options for either pure or mixed SFP+ especially given all the China OEM/whitelabel things floating around DCs these days.

Does anyone have a favourite, doesn't need to be DC quality, also doesn't need to be advanced purely for layer2 not even MPLS or VLANs. Oh and doesn't need to have a lot of ports. Looking for lowest TCO, not per port efficiency (where I know you can get for a few k a 48 porter from eg Force10 etc).

Basically the rasberry pi of SFP+ switching... (hmm is that an option, Rpi with some dodgy chinese SFP+ switching modules soldered on?)

Enjoy the beers!
