Brocade vRouter 5600

The relatively recent acquisition of the Brocade vRouter 5600 by AT&T
leaves in doubt the future of this product. Neither Brocade nor AT&T has
announced 100%continued offering or support. If you are searching for a
commercial replacement for the Brocade Vyatta vRouter 5600 including
support and maintenance offerings, I suggest taking a look at the 6WIND
Speed Series. The Speed Series products are similar to the 5600 in
architecture and in deployment models, they are configurable using Linux
commands or CLI and they are fully supported and available today. Also
available today is the 6WIND Brocade replacement program
<http://www.6wind.com/6wind-unveils-brocade-vrouter-replacement-program/> (
http://www.6wind.com/6wind-unveils-brocade-vrouter-replacement-program/).

Request a trial of any of the Speed Series software and take advantage of
the replacement program today.

Thank you.

Frank J.

Frank,

with due respect, this is not an appropriate mailing list for sales
pitches like this.

Nick,

Thanks for the note. I will avoid sending these types of emails to the
quagga users mailing list.
Does a quagga mailing list exist where such messages are acceptable?

Actually, no. Spamming someone else's internet mailing list is
considered to be about as acceptable as pooping on your neighbour's lawn.

Definitely not acceptable to send commercial pitches like that to
ordinary user and devel free software lists, like that one was.

A 'quagga-commercial' list was setup earlier this year though:

https://lists.quagga.net/mailman/listinfo/quagga-commercial

Though, it does have to be relevant to Quagga, Quagga has to be your
upstream if you're a vendor.

Hi,

If anyone availed of this offer and received binaries, I would be glad
to hear from you via private email.

regards,

Paul
