re: Photonics Fire Up Radical Core Router StartupYes -- it looks like Disqus can go only to 10 levels of responses before it collapses from exhaustion. Nigel Tufnel would not be pleased.
re: Photonics Fire Up Radical Core Router StartupThe rules have changed. The zebras are now being painted orange, with the assumption that they will grow longer necks and their stripes will turn to spots. We've pretty much done away with "journals" anyway.
re: Photonics Fire Up Radical Core Router Startup-áI see what you're saying, but i actually find it a good way to point out secondary information. Or to highlight something in the story without interrupting the main points. You also have to take into account the fact that many of us editors just don't know when to shut up. :)
re: Photonics Fire Up Radical Core Router StartupThere should be a rule that the first post can't be from an LR editor because if they have those comments, why not fix the article in the first place? -áThe journalistic equivalent of code reviews, peut-etre?
re: Photonics Fire Up Radical Core Router StartupTo be honest, the whole DDOS part is bogus. ALU's boxes have done overall (central) Control Plane rate limiting since day 1. And no operator is under-utilizing the network due to COPP or similar mechanisms. Also, unless its cooled back-to-front, I find it hard to believe the presented chassis would be NEBS compliant, as I don't see how they can put replaceable air filters in there. Finally, as mentioned, the density is nothing spectacular either. 200G per slot is nothing new.
