I cannot wait to test it in my lab or on customer PoC engagement. After hands-on experience I'll share it on this blog.

Hi David,
Any luck with implementing this?

Unfortunately not. I have hands-on experience only with Force10 S60 and S4810 so far. Force10 S6000 is relatively expensive box so there are not too much customers having it. Especially in EMEA and in Czech Republic. I guess there are more S6000 customers in US. However, I hope I'll have opportunity to plan-design-implement it in the future.
