My LAG is bigger than your LAG....

[NetworkGroover]

The Arista 7500E can have up to 64 member links in a LAG.  MLAG two of them together, and that's a port-channel consisting of 128 links.  Why you would want to do this - I don't know.  But that's one fat pipe. XD

My Virtual/Storage guy would absolutely love that.

What's the speed on each port? I have an Oracle guy that's interested in maximum throughput.

Saw the Cisco 9K can also handle this number.

If Im not mistaken isnt this a feature of the Trident 2?

Not that it's a big deal, but do you have a document that supports this?  The 9500 data sheet says 32 max, which would make for 64 in a vPC pair I'd imagine.

The 7500E is an Arad-based platform.  Not Trident.  But yes, I didn't think about it before and had to look back at my notes and T2 can support up to 64.

Speed isn't really a limiting factor here.  To my knowledge its the # of bits that can be used to hash across a number of member links.  So on the 7500 it's 10/40/100G - up to physical port count limitations of course.

Please make them all 100G, thank you. Having 12800G of throughput sounds like it will keep the Oracle guys happy... for a week...

I am going mostly off memory and didnt have a way to look it up as I was on the run. Yeah the 64 on the 9K could have been from a pair. Honestly I have heard so many product briefings in the past several months and all the CCIE studies, shit is starting to blend together.

Ill dig and look.

Hahaha - story of my life homie.

LOL!  My aren't we optimistic!

I actually typed Orable and then corrected it.

Now I realize that, since it rhymes with "horrible" and sounds like the British "orrible", I should have left it that way.

I feel dirty reading this thread. Any sort of mlag is bad mkay.

But, but... vPC can now support L3!

Interesting statement.  Why do you feel that way?  Does that include between ToR and host?
