Hi list, During the pub session after Zanog2024/iWeek, Sander mentioned his friend that did a Linux router using VPP, so I asked him more information about it, and he responded below. Anybody else that is/have tested similar and could share advice on locally (ie. South African) sourceable parts ?

The hardware list is in this blog post: https://ipng.ch/s/articles/2021/09/21/vpp-7.html But do look at his full collection of posts: https://ipng.ch/s/articles/ There is really good stuff in there! Cheers, Sander --- for every complex problem, there’s a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong Op 21 mrt 2024 om 05:19 heeft Hendrik Visage <hvisage(a)lnx-solutions.com> het volgende geschreven: Good day Sander, You mentioned this 1U switch/router that somebody did, and I’m interested in the bill of materials, ie. which 1U server/chassis, which SPF+ adapters etc. as I need to cost/price it (especially w.r.t. Watts power consumed per port). Any pointers where to source those would also be appreciated! Hendrik Visage
