Top of rack switches are very different beasts to the majority of switches supported by Linux, which are SOHO. TOR switches have a lot of firmware running on them doing most of the work. A typical SOHO switch with a Linux kernel driver has very little firmware, Linux really is driving it, not just asking it to do things. Also, TOR switches typically have a binary blob running in userspace, meaning different information is probably required compared to kernel driver. There may be useful information here, but please take it with a big pinch of salt. And make sure you have the appropriate networking people involved in any specification work you do. Andrew
