Re: Cisco Nexus vs Juniper QFabric

Take a look at the Brocade VDX series as well. The use a VCS fabric Which is different then the crossbar fabric. The have sub ms prop to port packet flow, support TRiLL and have SDN with open flow. Instead of VPC they use MCT which is essentially the same concept. They are just a little bit slower than the Arista switches, but they also have 100g ports ;)
