[ixpmanager] Recommended Devices for an IXP with Sflow Feature

[Christopher Malayter]

Depending on what you’re trying to do, and what your budget is…if you’re going the Extreme/Brocade route.  Low budget: MLX/CER Higher Budget: SLX9540/9740.

I’d avoid the CES simply due to scaling issues.

We’ve had fairly decent luck with the Extreme’s, other than the SLX 9850s.
