Cc: nanog@nanog.org> Good question Nick, what is a cloud switch? Is this like VSS in cisco
> where you have a virtual chassis?The vss is virtual management software for a virtual switch. This box
looks like a piece of hardware that you can plug things into, so I'm just
wondering what makes this a cloud switch and some other piece of kit not a
cloud switch.
Maybe it has to do with whether the magic smoke is on the inside or the outside
of the box. <grin>
