It is clear that the products mentioned in the first paragraph are for the Internet infrastructure. Probably more importantly are the products mentioned in the second paragraph. They are for Windows right now, but soon should be ported to VxWorks. This is major technology acquisition.
I have never heard of RouterWare, but from the product listing, this acquisition seems to be a beautiful move. Good job, Jerry! |
