That sort of thing has never bothered me much. If the platform is so great, surely it'll last more than a few years. What's the MTBF on these things? Decades? Better power performance, newer features, higher capacities sure are all great reasons to get newer hardware. EOL isn't. Don't too many of you adopt that strategy, though. I still want my source of cheap EOL hardware. :-) ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Freitag" <mlfreita () mtu edu> To: "Saku Ytti" <saku () ytti fi> Cc: "nanog list" <nanog () nanog org> Sent: Friday, September 30, 2016 3:50:25 PM Subject: Re: nexus N3K-C3064PQ vs juniper ex4500 in order to protect against ddos Pedro, Please also keep in mind that the Juniper EX4500 is an end of life product. Soon you won't be able to get Juniper to support you. That's why there are so many for so cheap on eBay.

Your router should be able to limit packets in HW, likely with better counter and filtering options than cheap switch. -- ++ytti
