RE: Nexus 3K - 5K comparison

Cisco does not make an "Ultra low latency" switch... many in the financial engineering world are even "cautious" of those numbers for the Nexus...

They do not compete in the ULL market with Arista, BNT and now Force10 and Mellanox...

Caveat Emptor...

Hi,

When Datasheet says 1us of latency between two ports of 3K.
What is latency for 5K - Datasheet says it is low letancy switch.
