Nortel, which trails behind Cisco in the routing device market, said 10-gigabit Ethernet could make routers obsolete. Nan Chen, director of Nortel's technology center, said routers are currently needed to translate the different networking protocols used to transfer data from a
corporate network (which uses Ethernet) through the Internet (which uses ATM or other technologies).

If Ethernet is used in Internet equipment, then routers won't be needed, Chen suggested.
