Allen, -you wrote- I suspect someone is in the wings beginning to formulate the equivalent of Moore's Law for network bandwidth increases to explain why this is happening. I would like to believe that deep down it is entirely due to VxWorks being incorporated in so many network devices. The author of the following article seems to believe otherwise: intel-sol.com -an excerpt from the above link- >For years, shared-media LANs, primarily Ethernet and Token Ring, served users and organizations well. But today, there are compelling reasons to remove the limitations of shared bandwidth. One reason is the continuing race between Moore's Law and Amdahl's Law. Moore's Law, named for Intel founder Gordon Moore, posits the doubling of processing power for computer chips every 18 months, while Amdahl's Law, formulated by computer designer Gene Amdahl, says that one megabit per second of I/O is required for every MIPS of computing power.< Regards...Craig
