Chris Malayter and I gave a presentation at NANOG45 earlier this year that
touches on some of the operational issues.

We also started a Wiki with content based on the presentation that has
more updated information, including a current list of vendor support.
If you see a vendor missing, let us know and we can update the list.
Or better yet, create an account and add some content yourself :-).
