Hi Robert,

I=E2=80=98m not too much into the details of the test. While Arista was out q=
uite soon (lack of MPLS) we focused on Cisco NCS-55A2 which fulfilled our ne=
eds.

However when it came to pricing the offer of Cisco was +1 on the seventh dig=
it compared to Extreme SLX-9640 (we need to buy ~80 devices) so we started t=
o reconsider the SLX, despite the first tests were not too promising. Maybe t=
here is new software out which fixes the most annoying issues.=20

The Ciscos simply exceed our budget, but I asked for a better deal which is s=
till pending.

We=E2=80=98re probably go to buy two or three SLX and bring them into real p=
roduction and when they fail we sell them 2nd hand. At least we would have a=
 better feeling before spending the money.

Ask me again for an update in about 8 weeks.
