[core switch] 5500-HI vs. A5510-HI vs 5820v2
What 1HE switch would you recommend for a new medium sized core (with inhouse MPLS/VPLS capabilities):
- HP A5500-HI (H3C S5500-HI)
- released: 2011
- ASIC: BCM56526
- Comware version: 5.20.99
- MAC table: 32000
- ARP table: 16000
- ND table: 8000
- MPLS table: 4000
- Routing table: 6000
2. H3C S5820V2 (HP A5900AF)
- released: 2012
- ASIC: BCM56840
- Comware version: 7.1.045
- MAC table: 128000
- ARP table: 16000
- ND table: 8000
- MPLS table: 4000
- Routing table: 16000
- other features: SPB, TRILL
3. HP A5510-HI (H3C S5560-EI)
- released: 2015
- ASIC: BCM84784?
- Comware version: 7.1.045
- MAC table: 32000 / 64000 / 32000
- ARP table: 16000 / 16000 / 32000
- ND table: 8000 / 8000 / 16000
- MPLS table: 8000 / 4000 / 8000
- routing table: ?
- other features: MACSec/802.1ae
H3C S5500-HI is inexpensive, but supports Comware Version 5 only
H3C S5820v2 seems to have the most up to date ASIC (Broadcom Trident 1), but is getting old. Should I still buy it for a new core?
H3C S5560-EI: new, unknown ASIC, dynamic modes for sizing the tables,
Which one would you choose?
