"Currently, the key equipment on optical networks is routers and switches made by dozens of companies including Alcatel, Avici Systems, Cisco, Lucent, Nortel and Sycamore. If the chip companies can make network processors sufficiently sophisticated, they could replace some of the functions of the traditional routers and switches.....
