Re: VIRL is here - finally

From what I've seen even the leaked version of VIRL doing the rounds had huge limitations never mind being limited to 15 devices in the "official" release

No L3 accurate topology, no physical topology view unless you toggle in

NX-OS is good to learn syntax nothing more

Not to be a hater I'm sure it will get better

I'm holding out until GNS integrates VMware then I'll be able to emulate most things what I need.
