Is this the Prism (sp?) switch fabric technology which NN was reported to use? (on this list) fumble, the IBM/CSCO deal press release talks about a programmable network processor. This would not be the Prizma switch fabric. I believe this is a not yet announced product. CSCO's Lightstream product uses an MMC Networks switch fabric. The older Stratacom gear uses a proprietary fabric. Not sure what the newer Stratacom switch used, but I'm 99% sure it isn't Prizma. One key aspect to this deal is the purchase of "routing and switching intellectual property". In other words, CSCO is either buying or licensing (more likely) IBM's considerable networking patent portfolio. CSCO's own patent portfolio is incredibly weak for a company its size. gary
