As I understand it --- and most of the technical details are beyond my ken --- there's no comparison between Ascend's GX 550 and NN's 50/320 Given the GX550 has been available for 18 months, this doesn't surprise me. I'd be very surprised if a GX550 follow on was not ready soon. The 25Gb/s 550 is just about ready to migrate to the edge, from the core. Very interesting that NN is using the IBM Prizma fabric. We evaluated that chip set well over a year ago and found it "wanting". There were issues then, with multicast and redundancy. I wonder if they've been addressed. But, what surprises we most, is that a company of NN's stature is relying on an OEM solution at all, for the family "jewels". NN also has another new product that I don't understand in the least but I'm told it will change the access architecture once it's released. Most likely something that integrates the SONET/SDH transport layer functions. Check out the following link for a company about to go public, with just such a product, that may force carriers to rethink the entire network. cerent.com gary
