Brian, djane, I believe the reference to open systems is targeted at telephony OSS and API's within that structure. In these environments there are proprietary API's between the platform, middleware and application layers. Cisco wants those API's to be open so that independent application vendors can write apps onto the OSS systems. It is true that Cisco maintains some proprietary protocols on their routers...but they also support standards as well. There is no requirement that a user deploy the cisco proprietary protocols in their infrastructure.. Typically they do however because it provides better performance..thus the reason JNPR routers will also support these "de-facto" standars on their core-routers. OG
