Saw this post wander by, and was wondering what some of your takes would be.

I for one am a huge supporter in the idea of opensource networking infrastructure. but also the idea of a network that is even more modular...

=========================

World waves 'goodbye' to CISCO!

With new generation of Debian/UBUNTU GNU/Linux switches, coming with full sources for ‪#‎SDN‬ (Software Defined Networking).

After ‪#‎Snowden‬/ ‪#‎NSA‬ revelations nobody in the world is buying U.S. closed software/hardware any longer.

Large parts of Linux now run on ultra fast, freely programmable ASICs, being able to completely replace CISCO greenware.

But not only that. You now can run your UBUNTU "Snappy" containers directly on your switches. No more dedicated servers. Oops?

Wave 'goodbye' to John Chambers at Levi’s Stadium on July 27 with some handful of ‪#‎Cisco‬ employees, that are left over: ‪#‎CiscoRocks‬ and‪#‎WeAreCisco‬.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
