Re: [Beowulf] Good 1 Gbit switches - which ones?

[Gerry Creager N5JXS <gerry.creager@xxxxxxxx>]

I just bought Foundry EdgeIrons at about $3K for 24 ports.  Excellent 
performance, and stellar small packet performance as tested in my 
network engineering lab (Anritsu MD1230).  The latest variant of HP 
ProCurve looks good by the specs, but I'd been able to test the EdgeIrons...
