We are considering replacing our Cat6500 core and aggregation layers with whitebox switches running Cumulus Linux. We are certain the whitebox switches will fit the bill for all but our Internet edge. We take a default routes from our ISP, but, being an .edu, also take 30k IPv4 and 60k IPv6 routes from our local Internet2 POP.
Are there any whitebox offerings that would work for our (limited) edge needs? They don't seem to support quite that many routes, and Cumulus says Jericho and Qumran are not on their roadmap. Ideally, these would run Cumulus to have the same platform on the edge, in core and agg, and one day in the access layer.
