I don't work in internet architecture anymore. Call it growing old, call it
going the easy way, on the whole, I was ready for a change, I was offered
change, I signed for it. Still, I will under no circumstance give up digging on
network tech news in the industry to keep up with sharpening my vision of the
technological ecosystem. Although I'm done (for the moment) with being a grease
monkey, I need that technical background to do whatever I'm doing right
now.
Now that I'm on the other side of the fence, I'd like to share with the very
few out there following my nerdy posts some of the frustrations I've been
accumulating over my past Internet Engineering years.
This oughta be fun

Ironware is pretty damn fast.

They had been living on 65xx/76xx for ages, without any significant changes nor anything new against their traditional ethernet switching competitors: Foundry being currently considered as the new switching reference, and Force10 as the most aggressive competitor, with their very dense E-Series
