I assume the TRX-200 uses the Fulcrum 24-port chip, just like Arastra, Force10 and others. In this case, what is the point of the Dynamic Congestion Avoidance for this switch ? There is only one path between two ports in a single crossbar, so where do you reroute to ?
Even for large switches, 10ms to adjust to congestion is a very long time at 10 Gbps. That's 12.5 MB worth of traffic. Only HPC has sustained flows that last that long, in some micro-benchmarks...

most likely another Fulcrum based offering
The TRX100 is clearly Fulcrum's "Vegas" reference model with a paint job making it their "Me Too" product to help Gigabit Ethernet migration to 10G.
The TRX200 however sounds interesting since it's release mentions it uses their vSCALE Asic inside. If this is the case it is most likely built just like the EFX1000 line card but put into a pizza box format.
