While the author has an pointed view of the world and how to solve all of these "problems", his answer is basically an Arista switch/router based on the Jericho chipset. Full routes, wirespeed, big FIB, basic software. But yeah, it's still a router. It's not "carrier grade" big expensive router in the words of Dave Temkin, but it's still a router and will probably smoke the market for lower-end Juniper MX's and Cisco ASR's.
