Demand for large routers should continue to grow over the next few years. They are still the mainstay for high density WAN apps ,Internet/corporate backbones, It is my opinion this will not be the case. IP switching and other switching products will take its place. Glenn, IP switching is attractive at the corporate level and Cisco has great support for this with the Catalyst 5K line (especially when matched with Fast Etherchannel and Gigabit Etherchannel (upcoming)). Layer 3 is still not practical for big routing tasks (like border routers at an ISP or WAN APs). It's my opinion that larger organizations will hold off on ripping out their legacy routing designs and buy into large scale Layer 3 solutions until the flurry of new technologies settles a bit. -C
