    Cheap switch 200/400GbE today equivalent of Celestica DX010 2 years ago

    Is there any light for cheap switches 200GbE or 400GbE on the ebay or other sources with used HW ? What will be the future - better to switch from 100GbE into 200 or 400 ? or... still using 2x 100GbE LACP ;) on ConnectX-4 PCIE 3.0 or ConnectX-5 PCIE 4.0?

    I am wondering if is it possible for "flash" Mellanox MCX516A-CCAT to MCX516A-CDAT ? Are ConnectX-5 and ConnectX-5 Ex based on the same chip and electronic board and PCIe 4.0 support is only the software thing? or better to not try it - and there is a big (or even 100%) risk having small green...
