I define limitations as "things that did not meet our functional
requirements", so I doubt that everything that was a limitation to us
may be a limitation for you. You need to develop your design, the
requirements needed to fit your design, then look at products that fit
your requirements.
Some of our functional requirements included supporting things like
vlans, separate mac address tables per vlan, snmpv2, ospfv2, pim-sm,
and ipv6.
I was shocked that one vendor's device marketed as network gear, a
bridge in particular, didn't support snmp at all, let alone rfc1493.
