<<Would that be so bad? Something has got to become the Standard upon which to base interop. If they persist in bearing the Standard, they will need to release their primitives-verbs-atomics whatever to open source>> I believe the E_port implementation of Brocade and Ancor just happens to be different, not one is better than the other. In order to be able to build ISLs between a Brocade switch and an Ancor switch, they have to agree on some parameters, hence open source from both parties. I can see down the road some degree of interop will occur. There can be more than one way of building ISLs. It does not have to be just one way, i.e. no need for a so call de-facto standard IMHO. Vixl, Zoox, Brcd and Ancr can continue to have their own proprietary E_port implementation and yet can build ISLs and whatever basic interop calls for. Much the same how Cisco can support the standard IP route scheme and yet has their own proprietary way.
