Denni, remember the speculation about the new Cisco Terabit router and what chips they used?

>What Intel chips might/could be used in the line cards?

their new communications processor chips.


Found an article that says Cisco actually bought companies to get chips for the line cards. Maybe next time, like you said.

Cisco went through two generations of semiconductor company
acquisitions to handle the two Sonet rates for packet over
Sonet. For its OC-48c (2.5-Gbit/s) line cards, Cisco relied on
technology from Canadian startup Skystone Corp. And its
acquisition of Stratum One Communications Inc. earlier this year
was central to completing its OC-192c line cards. Fraser said the
ability to support concatenated versions of Sonet rates was
critical, since it allows more multiplexing of slower services on
broadband Sonet pipes. Qwest Communications International
Inc. is conducting nationwide tests of the 10-Gbit cards, though
Fraser said they are still many months away from volume
production.
