I do personally undertand that it is cheaper and suppose to be the same speed. This will cause hundreds of people to jut ee that a a good point. The white box will come with minimal software or it may be sold as a bare metal device. The advantage of this approach is that switches can be customized to meet an organization's specific business and networking needs. Whitebox switching is the idea that a networking consumer can purchase a generic Ethernet switch without a network operating system, and install an operating system of their choice. If we all break it down you will find that there is only four main parts: 1. Silicon 2. Box 3. Network OS and drivers 4. Applications I am just still not really sure if this will be the greatest or just ends up like being like the rest.

It's amusing to me that in the poll there were no votes for the white box networking, yet that's what they're trying to bring back. I don't know if this is just another way for AT&T to save money or if they truly believe that this is what's best for them and their customers.

Is this a case of a prescient service provider showing customers what they want before they realize they want it? Or more of just laying out a roadmap - cloud, virtualization, white label.
