Actually that news has been in the market for quite some time. This product came from the Monterey acquisition, and pretty much everyone who has followed the o-e-o switching space (the same space as the CoreDirector by Ciena, the SN 16000 by Sycamore, the Aurora by Tellium, etc.,) has known for months that Cisco was having problems in this space. Therefore I would be reluctant to make any sweeping generalizations about optical growth based on Cisco's failure to execute with this specific product. (That is not say there are no problems overall in the sector, but at least this one is Cisco-specific.)
