Hello,

I looking some 10G switches, 24-48 ports, it will be work in DC in access.
Something cheaper ( for port) than extreme 670 ?

Take a look at this list. These folks are putting a commodity Linux environment with binary drivers to merchant silicon switches. Right now they support Accton, Agema, Penguin Computing and Quanta.

Even without the linux distro these switches are probably cheap and usable with their default OS.

Hey NANOG, it's good to be back and has been quite a while since I lurked on this list. Greetings from the bottom of the Earth (-70F outside my building).
