Cost-effective chipset saves resources and offers rich features

The Broadcom StrataDNX chipset, such as the DNX, is quite a generic chipset and from the cost perspective, it is quite cost-effective hardware. When we decide to use such an Ethernet switch, our R&D and headquarters consider using the Broadcom chipset as one of the merchandised chipsets in our system, providing a cost-effective solution to our customers. The cost-saving with Broadcom StrataDNX is one of the critical criteria for using the DNX as one of our hardware chipsets. From the features perspective, it is quite feature-rich, so we can leverage those existing functions on the SDK to develop our own features in our equipment.

Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver

The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The Broadcom StrataDNX chipset, such as the DNX, is quite a generic chipset and from the cost perspective, it is quite cost-effective hardware."

"Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."

"For the mobile backhaul or up to the PE, however, StrataDNX is a proven solution."

"The good thing about the StrataDNX is that the Broadcom family is very interchangeable, so they work well with different optical transceivers."

"The cost-saving with Broadcom StrataDNX is one of the critical criteria for using the DNX as one of our hardware chipsets, and from the features perspective, it is quite feature-rich, so we can leverage those existing functions on the SDK to develop our own features in our equipment."

"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."

"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."

"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."

"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."

"The solution is less expensive than other options."

"The ePoE+ is great."

Cons

"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."

"The scaling number of IPv4/IPv6 RIB/FIB, OSPF/IS-IS/BGP routing table and MAC table size could be increased."

"The standard features do not provide a full feature set, so we need to create our own features to compensate for those limitations."

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."

"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."

"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."

"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
