I would be more than interested in the amount of new destinations the different vendors can sustain with their hardware. I've seen the tests like this in the Juniper poc lab and I'm very keep to see something like this on the Alpine's / BD's. I've been told by Luuk from Extreme that he would like to see some tests like this as well and if we needed some kit for the test he would see where he could help out. ( alpine / BD / ixia in the lab that sort of things..) It might also be a good moment to ask them how they handle this in hardware, instead of wild guessing how it's done.
