TigerPaw,

Level3 is a bad example - essentially, it is using Lucent software and VoIP gateways to manage the voice, which is then routed via Cisco routers over Nortel optics. Bottom line, no carrier network of which I know (admittedly I do not have intimate knowledge of all carrier networks) is using any single vendor's technology END-TO-END for anything - It is not the way the carrier market works. AFIK call-management software remains a huge bugaboo for Cisco's internet ecosystem. Telcordia and HP supply parts of the solution, but it was a main sticking point at both Sprint and Telia. Cisco has also lost alot of ground in VoIP gateways, if you believe Dell'oro, InStat, et al., which I do.
