- kuschku 9y agoSure, but that's not even close to the "every board and switch is custom designed" story.
- pyvpx 9y agothere isn't as much exotic "stuff" as you might think. they have the same ODMs build switches and line cards to their specifications, with chips from the same vendors (Broadcom, Cavium, etc) only they can easily hire a team and sign the NDA and write/optimize/perfect the forwarding plane and control plane implementations. hell, the IS-IS implementation in Quagga is usable because of Google :)
