[AusNOG] FS.com for temporary 10G switch?

[Evan Dent]

Talk to Mike and he will set you straight. The one issue I think is that
when using routeros to switch as such, the switch chips may not be used and
traffic goes through the CPU. But I'm not certain on that and I'm sure he
and many more experienced people on the list can confirm or correct me.
