Curation Review
✔ Pros:Extreme 400G density (up to 64 ports in 2RU), AI/ML optimized with RoCEv2 support, backward compatible with 40/100G optics, high power efficiency per gigabit.
✘ Cons:Prohibitively high cost and licensing fees for smaller firms, steep learning curve for ACI management, high power/cooling requirements (~1300W+), standard buffer not suitable for extreme micro-bursts.
