Roy,

During the Ancor conference call, they said that to the best of their knowledge, Ancor was the only company shipping a switch with Arbitrated Loop. Brocade advertises this capability for SilkWorm on their web site. Are they having problems actually shipping it out the door? Perhaps A/L is tougher to do than they thought? How does Brocade do A/L? From the looks of it, it is some sort of daughter card.

How important is Arbitrated Loop support? Some applications, like Sequent, don't appear to need it, but it seems to me like it would be critical for storage.

On another note, how imminent do you think the introduction of Brocade's 8-port switch is?
