> Each of the two physical network connections will connect to a different top of rack router. We want to get a Software Defined Networking (SDN) compatible router so we have flexibility there. We're considering the 10/40GbE SDN SuperSwitch (SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR) that can switch 1440 Gbps.

Noooooo. Do not go for Supermicro for anything where the operating system matters. Their software quality leaves a lot to be desired.

You might want something Cumulus Linux supports, since it seems like you have a lot more Linux experience then networking...

Thanks, Cumulus Linux seems to be the way to go.
